Defending champions Eire Óg and Kilmurry Ibrickane are among the six teams who registered their first victories of this years Clare senior football championship.
Newcomers Corofin are also off the mark after producing the shock result of the weekend.

In Group Three, Kilmurry withstood a surge to overcome Doonbeg, while Clondegad had two Podge McMahon goals to thank for their win over Ennistymon.
