The two teams face each other again tonight but can the 2013 version match the 2012 version for late drama?

Hurling fans simply have to tune into TG4 tonight for the Munster U21 hurling final between Clare and Tipperary. The 2011 final, between Cork and Limerick, was one of the best game of hurling at any level in recent years and last year’s was a mini classic too.

It featured Clare and Tipperary, the same two sides as tonight, and while it didn’t have the level of scoring the 2011 version featured, it matched it for drama.

Deep into injury time, Tipperary led by a point, 1-14 to 0-16, but Banner duo Cathal McInerney and Niall Arthur somehow managed to magic up a killer goal to win the game.

The last five minutes of the match, plus injury time and the celebrations are all below, the perfect way the whet your appetite for tonight’s game, which will feature many of the same faces that played last year, plus a smattering of senior stars.
