O'Connell Lauds Banner Bravery To Fend Off Cork And Reach All Ireland Final

Clare minor hurling manager Ger O'Connell says his side showed immense bravery to fend off Cork and reach the All Ireland Final. The Banner exacted revenge for defeat in the group stages, defeating the Munster Champions 0-27 to 1-22 in Thurles to book their place Waterford now await in the decider after they overcame Kilkenny in the other semi final clash on Saturday evening. O'Connell says the players' character and quality was shown in spades in the second half.
