Cork were down at half time but managed to turn it around to defeat Clare in the Munster Hurling League.

The result means the Rebels book their place in Sunday's final against Limerick after a 0-19 to 0-15 win at Sixmilebridge.

They are buoyed by the fact they have already beaten Limerick during the competition, having won 7-22 to 1-19 on January 15th.

Cork remain unbeaten so far in 2017 as Conor Lehane scored eight points to help them to victory against Clare.
