Background

This All-Ireland final was the 50th championship meeting of Cork and Clare; however, it was their first meeting in an All-Ireland decider. Cork held the balance of power in all previous meetings between the two, having recorded 34 championship victories to Clare's eleven. There had been four drawn games. Both sides last met in the 2013 Munster semi-final, when Cork recorded a 0–23 to 0–15 victory. [16] It was their seventh successive championship defeat of Clare, extending the record which stretches back to the 1998 Munster semi-final when Clare last defeated Cork. In total it was the fifth meeting between the counties in 2013, with Clare having won the first three before Cork prevailed in the Munster semi-final. [17]

Cork, who last played in the final in 2006 when they lost by three points to Kilkenny, were bidding to win the title for the first time since 2005 while Clare, who last reached the final in 2002, had won their last All-Ireland in 1997. [18]

Reaction

Pre-match - Replay

Build-up

The replay match was fixed for Saturday 28th rather than a traditional Sunday because the ladies Gaelic football finals are scheduled for the following Sunday, the 29th and are not going to be moved to another date which happened in 2012. [41] The GAA have predicted that the replay will be a sell-out even with the 5pm throw-in time and it will be the first senior final to be played under floodlights. [42] [43] The GAA confirmed that there will be ticket reductions for the replay similar to the 2012 replay with stand tickets priced at €50 (down from €80) and terrace tickets at €25 (down from €40). [44] [45]

Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy commented on the replay saying “It’s more of a game now than it is a final." [46] The replay will be the sixth time that the sides have played each other in 2013. [47] [48] Clare selector Louis Mulqueen thinks that if Clare seize moment in the replay they can kickstart a golden era for the county saying "I still think if they could win the All-Ireland on Saturday we'd be talking about the golden era. But they still have to make the breakthrough and the quicker they make that breakthrough the better." [49] Clare manager Davy Fitzgerald is concerned about the number of games the team has played in 2013 saying ""Since the start of February we've been flat out because we played the league campaign at a championship pace, So, I'd be saying to myself: 'Will these games catch up on them?' That's the only concern, but it doesn't seem to have. They seem to be good. I think the only really flat game we had was that Tipperary league game." [50]

Referee

James McGrath was named as the referee for the replay on 18 September. It will be McGrath's second final after he was in charge of the 2012 Replay final between Kilkenny and Galway. [51]

Team news

The Cork team for the replay was named on 25 September with Cian McCarthy being named in place of Jamie Coughlan in the half forward line. [52] Clare named an unchanged team for the replay and also for the third game in succession. [53] There had been speculation that Darach Honan could be replaced before throw-in after he failed to make an impact in the drawn game. A couple of hours before the start of the match, Shane O'Donnell was told that he would be starting the match in place of Darach Honan. [54]

Summary

John Conlon got the opening score of the game, a point in the second minute. A hat-trick of goals in the 6th, 14th and 19th minutes at the hill 16 end from late call-up Shane O'Donnell put Clare on the way to a four-point lead of 3–9 to 1–11 at half time. Anthony Nash had blasted a 20-metre free past 12 Clare players on the line for a goal that brought Cork back to within three points in the 16th minute. [55] Clare then led by eight points but Cork had drawn level, 1–16 to 3–10, by the 52nd minute. With 18 minutes left the scores were level at 1–16 to 3-10 and they were level again with ten minutes left when Séamus Harnedy scored with a low shot to the net to make the score 2–16 to 3–13. In the 61st minute, Clare's Conor McGrath ran at goals and fired the ball high to the left corner of the net for Clare's fourth goal. Darach Honan, who came on as a second-half substitute, got Clare's fifth goal in the 71st minute after he received the ball on the right and managed to get as far as the Cork goals before pushing the ball past the goalkeeper with the ball rolling over the line.

Trophy presentation

Clare captain Patrick Donnellan accepted the Liam MacCarthy Cup from GAA president Liam O'Neill in the Hogan Stand and gave a speech in which he thanked the Clare panel, selectors, and back room team for their work throughout the year. The Clare team then embarked on a lap of honor around Croke Park. [59]

Reaction

Clare manager Davy Fitzgerald felt Clare were the better team over the two games saying " In my opinion over the two days we were the better team, I think Cork are a fantastic hurling team, but I really believe that we were the better team over the two days, We’re 2013 All-Ireland champions and it feels so good. I’m so proud of them young boys. They did it and fair play to them.” [60] [61] Fitzgerald speaking the morning after the game said “I suppose it still has not sunk in, but it is one of immense satisfaction. I am still the same. I am still so thrilled for the lads." [62] Fitzgerald also said that it hurt that people did not trust him saying "My one objective was for Clare to win. I wasn't trying to do anything else, only to try and make sure Clare would win. It does hurt when people would cut your throat and knife you in the back. It isn't nice." [63] Seven members of Clare's All-Ireland winning side were picked in The Sunday Game hurling team of the year. [64] Man of the match Shane O'Donnell who got 3-3 said the county's win means “absolutely everything” revealing that he did not know he was starting until hours before the game. [65] [66] O'Donnell was named by The Sunday Game as the man of the match for the replay on the night of the match. At the teams celebration banquet at the Clyde Court Hotel in Dublin, he received his award from GAA President Liam O'Neill and Michael Lyster. Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy acknowledged Clare's win saying "There is no disgrace in getting beaten by a team like Clare, you have to acknowledge they deserved their victory". [67] Former Waterford hurler, John Mullane writing in the Irish Independent praised Clare manager Davy Fitzgerald and said "starting with Shane O'Donnell was a masterstroke". [68] Jamesie O'Connor also writing in the Irish Independent believes that Clare have reached the summit earlier than expected saying "With the way Clare finished the year I think the consensus now is that the best team in the country came out on top, it's hard to believe that the hurling year gave us what it did, especially with the old order contesting the league final back in April. They will be back in 2014 but on a far more level playing pitch. Roll on 2014." [69]

Former Offaly All Ireland winner and hurling analyst Daithí Regan thinks that the Clare system was the key as best team of the summer won out, saying "The big question now is, how many can Clare win with this crop of young lads. I was talking to Jamesie O’Connor after the game about what we can expect from this side over the next few years. He made the point that it’s a high-octane, high-energy game that Clare play. And it takes its toll and makes demands on players. But they’re at such an age profile at the moment that they’ll want more. When the celebrations die down, they’ll go back at it and you know I think because of their age profile they’ll be hungry and burnout won’t be an issue." [70] Double All Ireland winning manager Ger Loughnane is confident that this is the start of a golden era for hurling in Clare, saying "“This has been a magical year – the best year I can remember for hurling, but you know we have the prospect that next year and the year after will be even better." [71] British newspaper The Guardian in its editorial section, hailed the 'ancient Irish' game of hurling as a beacon of sporting courage and commitment, Hopefully the Gaelic Athletic Association will do all sports fans everywhere a massive favour and produce DVD copies of this memorable game, where Clare emerged victorious." [72]

In 2017, after three years of under-performing, former Clare manager Ger Loughnane criticized the team that won the title saying "it was the greatest fluke of all time, they didn't beat either Tipperary or Kilkenny - the Litmus test in this era, until they show consistency and beat a big team in a big game, you'd have to say that this Clare team are over-rated. [73] [74]

Homecoming

The Clare team arrived back in Ennis at 9.30pm on the day after the game on an open top bus. The team traveled by train from Heuston Station in Dublin to Limerick and then by bus to Ennis. En route they stopped at Cratloe, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket on Fergus, and Clarecastle. There was a reception held at Tim Smyth Park in Ennis which was attended by 30,000 people. Both sets of players, the senior panel and the under 21 winning panel were introduced on stage by MC's Syl O'Connor of Clare FM and RTÉ's Marty Morrissey.

The match was a 13 a side game with the 'A' team winning by 7–3 to 6–4. [78] A crowd of 6,000 fans attended the match where Shane O’Donnell required a Garda escort to get him to the team bus after the game.
