Cratloe added the Division Three League title to the Jack Daly and Canon Hamilton this afternoon after beating Kilmihil in the decider, but only after a late scare.

At half time the county champions led by 1-11 to 0-0, the goal coming late in the half from Cathal McInerney.

Kilmihil struck for a goal of their own through Martin O'Leary early in the second half, and a second goal for the home side from David Killeen saw them cut the deficit to just four points at 1-11 to 2-4 with ten minutes to play.

Kilmihl then added a point to get within three points of the Cratloe men, but a point each for John Galvin and Cathal McInerney steadied the ship once more, and a Podge Collins goal put the result beyond doubt.

Cratloe closed the game out to win by 2-13 to 2-5.

The focus now turns to next Saturdays clash with Clonlara in the Clare Cup Hurling Final where Cratloe could complete a clean sweep of titles in 2014.
