St Josephs Doora/Barefield have been knocked out of the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship losing out in extra time to Limerick champions Monaleen.

Details have been announced as to Clare’s opponents in the 2017 Munster Championship at U21, Minor and U17 level in gaelic football and hurling.

Two members of the Clare Senior Hurling panel have received late call-ups to the Irish Shinty Hurling team.

Clonlara's chances of becoming Clare SHC champions are still alive, their captain John Conlon is understandably delighted to still be in with a shout of raising the Canon Hamilton.

When it looked like Ballyea were about to claim their first ever Clare SHC title Clonlara refused to panic, instead they waited for an opportunity to pounce, their patience paid off as Cathal ‘Tots’ O’Connell hit over an equaliser to send the tie to a replay.

Robbie Hogan was moments away from becoming the first man to lead Ballyea to glory in the Clare SHC, for now he’ll have to wait just a bit longer to complete the feat.

He’s been the hero before and it looked like Tony Kelly was going to be the man of the hour for Ballyea, unfortunately for him Clonlara and in particular Cathal Tots O’Connell had other ideas.

Clonlara and Ballyea will have to do it all again as a last gasp point from Cathal Tots O’Connell means there will be a replay in both the Clare SHC and SFC finals in the same year for the first time since 1982.
