Peter Dugan hails Clare support

Clare hero Peter Duggan hailed "the Banner roar" after he fired his county past Tipperary in a Thurles humdinger, and said his team can feed off their passionate support to take off this summer.

Duggan's two injury-time scores earned Clare a first championship win over Tipp in 15 years.

It ended the Premier's campaign as a frantic battle slipped away from them, but Clare are eyeing a Munster final. They're second in the group with a game against Limerick to come. 

And after coming through a serious scarp today, confidence is sky high.

"It took us a while to get going," Duggan told RTÉ Sport.

"At a good few stages of the game Tipp were well on top of us. It just shows the heart that's in this team that we kept coming back.

"We dug deep. It's brilliant to get a result. It's the first time in along time we got a result down below in Tipp. Clare haven't travelled greatly over the last few years, since 2013 (when they lifted Liam MacCarthy).

"The crowd that came out here today, they really helped. Hearing the Banner roar for the first time in a long time really helped us drive on in this game

"We had to win both games, this game and the Limerick game, to get into the final.

"That's what we want to do. We want to win every game form now on. We'll train as hard as we can and get as many results as we can."
