Current champions Sixmilebridge are through to this year’s quarter-finals thanks to 0-20 to 1-13 victory over Whitegate at Cusack Park on Saturday evening. The title-holders did have to endure a spirited last quarter from their East Clare opponents but experience won out in the end. 

The Bridge held a 0-11 to 0-8 advantage at the break thanks in the main to Alex Morey who provided six of those first-half scores. The number 14 shot eleven points over the hour.
