Clare champions Kilmurry-Ibrickane surprised Limerick's Drom-Broadford as an injury-time point from Johnny Daly saw them 0-13 to 0-12 winners in their AIB Club Munster SF first-round meeting at the Gaelic Grounds.
Kilmurry boss Pat O'Dwyer - who has four sons on the panel - watched as his side staged a second half comeback, having been 0-10 to 0-6 down at the break.
With the prize a semi-final meeting against the Kerry champions, Drom opened with a point from Limerick inter county star Michael Reidy before the visitors notched four unanswered scores - including one from Clare forward Odhran O'Dwyer.
Two frees from Gareth Noonan got Drom back into it and further scores from Jason Stokes and Pat Donnelly forced Kilmurry's Shane Hickey to level the game at 0-6 apiece on 23 minutes.
Stokes, Ray Lynch and Reidy gave the home side their four-point lead, but two early Daly frees after the restart got them right back in it.
Indeed the Limerick side were kept to just two points in the second half as they wilted, just eight days after retaining their county crown.
Just as he had when helping Kilmurry to the Clare title last Monday, Daly pointed two late scores for a 0-6 (3f) tally and a famous win.
At Athleague, Mayo's Ballyhaunis will meet Galway champions Athenry in the Connacht Senior Hurling final, after they edged Oran of Roscommon 0-13 to 0-11.
