What a weekend of GAA action, even if Cork fans were left wondering how they didn't get one over Clare after storming into a 12-point lead on enemy turf.
An incredible game at Cusack Park ended in a welter of excitement as a red card to Shane Barrett and the Banner's ability to land ball on Peter Duggan at the edge of the square saw Cork lucky to escape with a draw in the end.
In the long term, provided Cork can get a win over Tipperary at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this Sunday, the result might not derail the hype train but it shows the difference between league and championship.
