The Ecstatic Rebel Reaction To Cork's Munster Championship Win Over Clare

The Ecstatic Rebel Reaction To Cork's Munster Championship Win Over Clare

The Munster final was all set up to be an absolute thriller, with Cork and Clare heading to Semple Stadium for a place in the All-Ireland semi final.

Clare were looking for only their sixth win in the Munster championship since 2000, Cork were touted as being overhyped by some of the RTE panel before the game, then there was the undertone of Diarmuid O'Sullivan against Donal Óg Cusack on the sidelines. Cork had come out on top in meetings in 2014 and 2015 but the Banner were impressive in their win over Limerick this year.

Cork led at half time but some fans were worried the five point gap wasn't enough with a considerable breeze in Thurles. Both sides hit plenty of bad wides, but there were some magnificent scores in the second half. In the end, that five point gap held.

Much to the delight of the Cork fans - who were full of praise for seemingly every player.
