Laois enjoyed an encouraging success, defeating Westmeath.
Ronan Coffey, Evan O'Carroll, and Paul Kingston netted goals for Laois.
Despite Luke Loughlin's 1-6 contribution for Westmeath, Justin McNulty's charges prevailed at Laois Hire O'Moore Park.
Mark McInerney was at his brilliant best as Clare cruised to victory over Limerick.
The University of Galway student finished with a 1-8 haul, while the excellent Eoin Cleary supplied seven points.
