*Kilrush Rangers’ Danny Clancy. 

THREE CLARE clubs have progressed to the next round of the FAI Junior Cup following Sunday’s action across the province.

Shannon Town Utd, Lifford FC and Newmarket Celtic have all advanced in the national competition with Bunratty Cratloe, Shannon Olympic, Fern Celtic A and B plus Bridge Utd all bowing out.
