Inagh-Kilnamona are the first team through to the quarter finals of the TUS Clare senior hurling championship
Eugene Cullinan’s side made it two wins from two after seeing off Doora Barefield by 0-25 to 0-12.
Ballyea’s draw with Clonlara means Inagh-Kilnamona are now assured of a last eight spot, with one of those two to join them in qualifying after the final round of games.
Cullinan says they had to dig deep in the second half of the contest facing into a stiff wind.
Meanwhile Kilmaley are on the brink of the last eight after their second win of the season, but will still need a result against Sixmilebridge in the final round to be assured of it.
They rattled the net three times in victory over Wolfe Tones, racking up a tally of 3-20.
Manager Brian Culbert says it took a huge effort to eventually take control of the contest.
