BRIDGE UTD and Newmarket Celtic will face off once again in the semi-finals of the Ennis Carpets Clare Cup.
Fresh from their FAI Junior Cup showdown where Celtic came from 2-0 down to record a 3-2 win, the sides will be meeting in the Premier Division in what is viewed as a title-deciding fixture and they are now set to face off in the semi-finals of the Ennis Carpets Clare Cup.
Reigning Cup champions Newmarket booked their spot in the last four with a 6-2 quarter-final win over Shannon Hibs on Sunday while Bridge Utd who reached the semi-finals last season overcame Ennis Dons B 3-0.
Sixmilebridge will be the setting for the semi-finals with Bridge Utd securing home advantage as the first name pulled from the draw which took place at Ennis Carpets’ showroom in the Quin Rd Business Park on Monday evening.
Remaining quarter-finals will be held this coming weekend where Avenue Utd welcome Tulla Utd to Roslevan in what was the tie of the round. Also this weekend, Sporting Ennistymon will host Shannon Town Utd B. The winners of these games are to meet in the semi-finals which will be played in either Roslevan or The Cragg.

Avenue Utd or Tulla Utd vs Sporting Ennistymon or Shannon Town B (to be played on Saturday 30th May)
