Charleville overturned a 10-point half-time deficit to capture Munster Club IHC honours at Feakle’s expense in the Gaelic Grounds today.

Darren Casey’s goal three minutes into stoppage time capped off a remarkable second-half comeback by the Cork champions.

It gave them a 2-20 to 1-20 victory.

The Clare men will wonder how they let this one slip away after they led by 1-13 to 0-6 at the change of ends.

Raymond Bane netted their goal but it proved to be of no avail as late goals from Jack Doyle and substitute Casey saw Charleville, managed by Cork All-Ireland winner Ben O'Connor, take the silverware.

All-Star midfielder Darragh Fitzgibbon’s finger prints were all over his side’s second-half comeback and he finished as his team’s top scorer with nine points.
