Cratloe ease past Éire Óg to first decider

Cratloe made it through to their first Clare SFC final when they defeated Éire Óg, Ennis 2-8 to 0-9 in the semi-final at Clarecastle yesterday.

The South-East Clare club now face the winners of next weekend’s other semi-final between Doonbeg and Lissycasey.

In an entertaining contest the Blues put in a storming second-half display to book their place in the decider. Éire Óg, who had dominated for much of the opening half, found themselves a point adrift at half-time when they conceded a late penalty that Cathal McInerney slotted past Eoin Slattery.
