Clare Hold Off Dublin to Claim Division 1B League Title

Clare won 2-26 to 3-20 in the Allianz National Hurling League Division 1B final versus Dublin.

Clare edged out Dublin in a high-scoring Allianz National Hurling League Division 1B final at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, winning 2-26 to 3-20 in a game that delivered intensity and quality throughout.

Just two years on from lifting the Division 1A title, Clare showed their continued pedigree by coming through a stern test against a determined Dublin side. The sides were evenly matched for long stretches, with Dublin's goal threat keeping them firmly in contention.

Despite conceding three goals, Clare's consistency in front of the posts proved decisive. They built their tally through a steady stream of points, allowing them to withstand Dublin's burst of momentum and ultimately hold on in the closing stages.

Dublin will feel this was an opportunity that slipped away. Their attacking efficiency in front of goal kept them within touching distance of Clare, but they were unable to fully capitalise when it mattered most.

Clare's composure down the stretch ensured they saw the game out, securing silverware and underlining their status as one of the most reliable sides in the league.

The standout performer on the day was Mark Rodgers, who was named Man of the Match following an influential display in Clare's forward line.
