Cratloe boss Colm Collins is praising his players for delivering the performance that has kept them alive in the TUS Clare senior football championship.
The south-east Clare side had six points to spare over Ennistymon, which was enough to see them take the second quarter-final qualification spot from Group Three.
Diarmuid Ryan netted twice for the 2014 champions, while his brother Conor continued his return to competitive action by scoring a point after being introduced from the bench.
Collins says his players showed the leadership that was needed to survive.
Meanwhile Doonbeg manager John Keane says his side knew they would need to battle to keep them in contention for the knockout stages.
Defeat to Eire Og wasn’t enough to end their championship ambitions, as they finished third in the Group Two standings, and qualified for the playoff round against Lissycasey.
Keane says everyone was aware of what was on the line
