County champions Éire Óg served notice that they’ll be in the shake-up for honours once more this season when booking a quarter-final spot with a game to spare thanks to a comprehensive seven-point victory over 2018 and ’19 champions St Joseph’s, Miltown.

This early Sunday afternoon clash in Kilmihil was delicately poised at 0-9 to 0-7 in Éire Óg’s favour at half-time, but a three-goal blast from county panelist Mark McInerney between the 48th and 54th minutes ensured the Ennis side won pulling up on 3-11 to 0-13 scoreline against a Miltown side now on the brink of championship elimination after losing their opening two games.
