CRATLOE stand in the way of champions Éire Óg advancing to a third Clare SFC final in a row.

Clareabbey hosted the draw for the TUS Clare SFC and IFC semi-finals on Monday evening while quarter-final pairings in the Junior A and Junior B football championships were also unveiled.

A repeat of the 2014 county final is on the cards with Cratloe facing off with reigning champions Éire Óg. A 2-12 0-11 win on that occasion saw Cratloe complete a historic double while it is now the Ennis club that are intent on winning such an honour.

In the other semi-final, St Breckan’s will face St Joseph’s Miltown in a tie that both sides will certainly fancy their chances. It will be their third meeting in as many years with Breckan’s prevailing in the 2021 quarter-finals on a score of 3-11 0-12 and they also put three goals away in the group game in Ennistymon last year when it finished 3-7 0-9 in their favour.

Naomh Eoin’s first-ever appearance in the Clare IFC semi-finals sees them pitted against Kilmihil who dropped down from the top tier last season. The other clash sees two town teams do battle, Wolfe Tones na Sionna facing off with Kilrush Shamrocks.
