TWO CLARE CLUBS will do battle in the last sixteen of the Munster Junior Cup.
Home advantage has been secured by Shannon Town Utd for the last sixteen tie where they will welcome neighbours Newmarket Celtic to Lynch Park.
Monday’s draw pitted the last two Clare clubs standing in the provincial competition against each other.
A 2-1 home win over Corkbeg saw Steo Dolan’s Shannon Town progress to the fifth round while Paddy Purcell’s Newmarket outfit had a 5-1 win over Killavilla Utd.
There is further Clare interest in the fortunes of Regional Utd who have the trio of Rob Shier, Brian O’Connor and Eoin Duff in their ranks.
Fifth round ties in the McCarthy Insurance Group Munster Junior Cup are to be played before Feburary 19th.
Attention is firmly focused on the FAI Junior Cup for this weekend with Regional Utd and Newmarket Celtic crossing swords at 2pm on Sunday in the last sixteen of the national competition.
