Munster MFC/Tipperary 2-5 Clare 0-11:A late, late point from Gerry Leahy gave Clare a second chance in their clash against Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds last night.

There was precious little between the sides in an error-ridden first half, with Tipp ahead 1-1 to 0-3 - the goal coming inside five minutes from Kevin Walzer.

Sub Paul Horan looked to have booked Tipperary's passage with a 57th-minute goal, but Leahy's late score squared the match.
