Caoimhe Costelloe top scored for Limerick with 2-6, as Pat Ryan’s side led 2-10 to 0-7 at the interval. Costelloe instinctively flicked to the net for her first green flag before dispatching a penalty high to the net for her second.
Limerick had five scorers while debutant Áine Cunningham impressed followed her promotion from the junior side. They outscored Clare 2-6 to 0-4 between the 15th minute and half time.
Rebecca Delee was also on target, returning after 15 months to the Limerick side, owing to a cruciate knee injury sustained against Tipperary.
Limerick controlled the scoreboard and despite conceding a 49th minute goal to Eimear Kelly, they never looked like relinquishing their advantage.
Meanwhile the Limerick junior Camogie side drew with Carlow, 1-16 to 3-10, earlier on Saturday afternoon.
