Sixmilebridge and Crusheen are the first two names in the hat for Monday’s Clare SHC quarter-final draw but only just amidst an exceedingly tense finale to Group 4 on Friday evening.

Indeed, throughout a dramatic second period, the ‘Bridge, last year’s finalists Crusheen, and Clare Cup champions Newmarket-on-Fergus were all out of the championship at one stage as it went down to the very last puck before the former pair relievedly prevailed.
