Five quarter final spots will be confirmed in the TUS Clare senior football championship this afternoon.
Groups One and Two will reach their conclusion with four games down for decision
For Cratloe and Doonbeg, the stakes could not be higher ahead of their clash in Clarecastle today
A win or draw for Doonbeg will see them progress to the last eight, while Cratloe need to win in order to reach the quarter finals and condemn the Magpies to the relegation scrap, a fate which awaits Cratloe should they fail to win.
Champions Eire Óg will look to keep their winning momentum going when they take on an unbeaten Miltown in Kilmihil, with the winners of this tie ensuring top spot in the group and a seeded position in the last eight draw. Both are already through regardless of the result, with just the finishing positions to be sorted out.
Both those games are underway at 3pm with commentary of Doonbeg v Cratloe thanks to Tubridy’s Bar and Restaurant Doonbeg.
The focus switches to Group Two this evening, where Ennistymon take on Kildysart in Cooraclare while Lissycasey is the venue for Kilmihil’s showdown with Doora Barefield.
For Ennistymon and Kildysart, the maths are simple as the victors will finish with top spot secured and a seeded position in the quarter final draw.
Defeat for Kildysart will leave their fate open to the outcome in the Doora Barefield v Kilmihil game, where the West Clare side need to win to avoid being pulled into a relegation battle.
For the Parish, they need to avoid defeat to secure at least a playoff spot, and will need to hope Kildysart lose along with turning around an 11 point scoring difference if they are to go straight to the quarter finals.
Both those games are underway at 5pm
