Tubber overcame the 2009 champions for the second successive season thanks a goal in either half from veteran forward Eamon Taffe which helped them to the 3-14 to 2-12 win.
Manger Pat O O’Connor told Clare FM his side deserved the win:
Newmarket blitzed Ballyea to record a 4-15 to 0-11 win in the first game in Cusack Park while in the opening game of the championship Clonlara and St Josephs shared the spoils after a 12 points each draw in Shannon.
