Clare staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Tipperary in the Munster Under-20 Hurling Championship final at FBD Semple Stadium on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. The Banner County scored 2-01 in injury time to secure a thrilling victory.
With three wins from three in the group stage, Clare advanced to the provincial final, where they faced a determined Tipperary side. The Premier County led for much of the match, but Clare's late surge turned the game on its head.
The win marks Clare's first Munster Under-20 title since 2023, and they will now face either Cork or Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final. Tipperary, despite the loss, will also progress to the All-Ireland series as group runners-up.
