GAA:Clare saw off a brave Dublin challenge to book their place in the All-Ireland MFC final against Kilkenny with a narrow 0-20 to 2-13 victory.

Niall Arthur, Tony Kelly and Darragh Keane helped Clare to a seven points lead, but Dublin staged a second quarter revival, with scores from Ciaran Kilkenny, Dean Flood and Cormac Costello, and trailed by 0-9 to 0-7 at the break.

Emmet O’Conghaile and Cormac Costello grabbed Dublin goals in the second half, but an eight points tally from Arthur secured a Banner appearance in next month's decider.
