Both sides suffered a loss in the closing stages of the game due to red cards. For Limerick, Gillane was sent off after receiving a second yellow. Clare's Jack Browne was also told to leave the field of play in extra time following a second yellow.
Clare kept within distance of Limerick with frees from Kelly, leaving the game to finish level at 0-18 each.
