On 14 April, Clare defeated Cork by two points after extra-time in the League Division 1A relegation playoff to retain their league status in division 1. [4] Speaking after the game manager Davy Fitzgerald said "It’s a good win, we beat Cork in a relegation play-off – that’s it, we’re not going to get carried away by it, we won’t beat the likes of Waterford with so many wides. Cork could just as easily have won that game, we know there’s still a long road to go." [5][6]

With seven minutes left on the clock, Cork captain Patrick Cronin hit a shot to the top left corner of the net to level the game.[7] Patrick Horgan looked to have won it for Cork with a point in the last minute.[8] Added on time of two minutes was already up when Clare right-back Domhnall O'Donovan received the ball out on the left before hitting the ball over the bar just as he was tacked to tie up the match.[9] The referee blew the final whistle after 2 minutes and 38 seconds to bring the match to a replay three weeks later.[10] [11] [12]

All-Ireland Final Replay

[edit]

John Conlon got the opening score of the game, a point in the second minute. A hat-trick of goals in the 6th, 14th and 19th minutes at the hill 16 end from late call-up Shane O'Donnell put Clare on the way to a four-point lead of 3–9 to 1–11 at half time. Anthony Nash had blasted a 20-metre free past 12 Clare players on the line for a goal that brought Cork back to within three points in the 16th minute.[13] Clare then led by eight points but Cork had drawn level, 1–16 to 3–10, by the 52nd minute. With 18 minutes left the scores were level at 1–16 to 3-10 and they were level again with ten minutes left when Séamus Harnedy scored with a low shot to the net to make the score 2–16 to 3–13. In the 61st minute, Clare's Conor McGrath ran at goals and fired the ball high to the left corner of the net for Clare's fourth goal. Darach Honan, who came on as a second-half substitute got Clare's fifth goal in the 71st minute after he received the ball on the right and managed to get as far as the Cork goals before pushing the ball past the goalkeeper with the ball rolling over the line.
