Clare let an excellent opportunity to collect an away win slip in their opening game of the Allianz National Football League Division 2 as they recorded a draw with Derry.
It finished all square in the Clare Senior Football Championship final as an injury time Cathal McInerney ensured Jack Daly would have to wait a little longer to find out his home for the next twelve months.
A late Cathal McInerney goal added a little bit of gloss to the score line for Cratloe in this one because there were by no means six points better than their opponents over the course of 80 minutes of football.
