Clare football boss Colm Collins says he feels the Division Three Football League campaign will go right to the wire.
The Banner suffered their first loss with a 2-7 to 1-7 defeat against Tipperary, with Brian Fox's late goal sealing the win for the Premier.
The result sees Clare in third place on the table with two points, while Kildare and Tipperary lead the standings.
The football league now takes a break for three weeks, with Clare's next game coming against Limerick in Newcastlewest on Sunday February 28th.
Collins says they'll be working hard to get the campaign back on track.
Elsewhere in Division Three this weekend, Kildare kept their 100% record intact with victory over Offaly, Westmeath suffered their second loss with defeat against Sligo, while Limerick are still without a win after losing to Longford.
