U21 HC Final - Clare v Kilkenny

Guillem2 · September 13, 2009, 12:28:15 PM

I won't see this one on TV due to club matches but I'd love to see Clare win their first u21 title.

There's been some really good matches in the u21s so far and i hope this one turns out the same - with Clare lifting the trophy at the final whistle.

Is it on RTE or TG4?

TG4 4.30 throw in I think

Its a question of which side you want to lose most.
If Clare win, we'll never hear the end of it!

Clare win 0-15 to 0-14

Great result for Clare!!

Plan B again

Their main man Honan hardly hit a ball either, in fairness he carried an injury into the game

That was some some game.

Congrats to Clare, and there supporters

that was some match alright, Clare were outstanding and Kilkenny were great also. great point to win it in the end, off the left on the run from midfield. plan B will have to become plan A as it's crap

delighted for clare. Good for hurling as well. You get a pain in your arse watching kilkenny win all the time. Mc Donnell at 6 and Dillon at 3 look like the new Mc Mahon and Lohan. Poor enough first half but the 2nd half was very good especially the last 15.

Hopefully the Banner will kick on from here and get back competing at the highest level in the senior ranks. Clare always played a good brand of tough, fast and uncompromising hurling and this u21 team looks no different. A strong Clare can only be good for hurling.

U21 success is no guarantee of improvement at senior level though. They only need to look across the Shannon at their neighbours from Limerick for proof of that.

Clare are down in Div 2 of the national league next year so perhaps they have a chance to blood some of the U-21s in preparation for the championship. They badly need a boost so I hope this kicks them on.

I caught the last 20 minutes of the game and it was excellent. Good for the game to see Clare win.

Would have been demoralising to see a Kilkenny team push clear again in the last minutes.

There comes a time.
