AN ALL Newmarket Celtic derby was among the highlights of the first round of the Ennis Carpets Clare Cup.

Newmarket Celtic A progressed as expected in what was the second time this season that the two sides from the one club faced off.

It took penalties for Fair Green Celtic to edge off Fern Celtic to qualify for the second round. Bridge Celtic also needed penalties to progress when they defeated Newmarket Celtic C.

Shannon Town Utd who from the get-go this season targeted building a positive Cup run, started on a high when overcoming Avenue Utd C.

Ennis Dons stuck to the task at hand to defeat Shannon Town Utd B.

Home advantage did not stand to Moher Celtic who were knocked out by Shannon Hibs.

Four goals from Joe Campbell helped Callan Utd power beyond Mountshannon Celtic B.
