Ennistymon have edged past Doonbeg in a tight and exciting encounter in the Clare Senior Football Championship.

After a nervy opening, four straight points from the North Clare outfit gave them a 0-6 to 0-2 lead at half time in Miltown Malbay.

Doonbeg had been reduced to 14 for a time in the first half, because of a black card, and then had the same problem in the second half.
