Tony Kelly has become Clare’s all time top scorer in the championship.
The All Star landed 0-10 in the Banner’s win over Cork in Semple Stadium, with the first of those scores seeing him overtake Niall Gilligan at the top of the standings.
Kelly took his all time tally to 9 goals and 240 points, on a day when Clare flew out of the blocks in the opening half to set down a marker against the Rebels.
It also leaves Kelly joint 12th in the national scoring charts, alongside Cork’s Joe Deane.
The Ballyea man made his championship debut for Clare against Dublin in the 2012 All Ireland qualifiers, marking his first appearance with a tally of 1-2.
The 2013 Hurler of the Year scored 0-3 in the drawn All Ireland final that year, before notching the same tally in Clare’s replay win over Cork.
