Clare 0-20
Dublin 1-15

A second half revival by Clare against Dublin secured a vital 2 points in Sunday's Allianz National League Round 4 clash at Cusack Park.

Clare trailed for much of the game but aided by a strong second half breeze, rallied late on to secure a two-point win over Ger Cunningham's side.

Ryan O’Dwyer's 19th minute goal helped Dublin to a five-point lead (1-10 to 0-08) at half time.

Clare battled hard in the second half however, and a final quarter surge with 5 answered points at one stage helped the Banner to secure the win in front of 4,370.

With Kilkenny on three points following their draw with Tipperary on Saturday and Cork's comprehensive win over Waterford handinf the Rebels four points in the table, Donal Moloney and Gerry O'Connor know that anything less than a win against Waterford in Cusack Park in two weeks time could see Clare dragged into a relegation playoff.
