CARMODY: IT'S IN OUR OWN HANDS

NEITHER Clare nor Limerick went into their derby on Saturday aiming for a draw, but after the Treaty's Caoimhe Costelloe's late free ensured a 1-9 to 0-12 draw in Ennis, they remain in the hunt for a place in the quarter-finals of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship.

The Banner are second behind Cork and level on points with Limerick but hold a 32-point advantage on score difference.

The Treaty have played a game more and lost by 38 points to the Rebels, who Clare have to play yet.

Both teams still have to take on Tipperary, who are hot on their heels in fourth and also have a game on hand on Limerick.

“We are alive, it’s in our own hands," said Clare manager John Carmody.

“It is probably going to go down to scoring difference now, all to play for, so there is no doom and gloom."

Clare had the wind in the first half but briefly fell four points behind when Laura Southern found the net.
