Cratloe are sweating on the fitness of one their key men ahead of this weekends Clare Senior Hurling Quarter Final.
2013 All Star Podge Collins missed out on their football win against Ennistymon with a hand injury which is continuing to be monitored ahead of Sunday's meeting with Eire Óg.
The Townies have registered impressive wins over Ballyea and Clarecastle so far in the championship, and Cratloe boss Joe McGrath is wary of the challenge they'll face.
That one starts on Sunday at 1.30pm in Cusack Park.

Ballyea manager Robbie Hogan says the slate is wiped clean when they take on Crusheen in their last eight clash.
The sides met previously at this stage in 2013 when Ballyea emerged victorious.
Hogan says that will count for nothing when they renew that battle this weekend.
They meet in Cusack Park on Saturday evening at 5.30pm
