Defending champions Clare are through to the knockout stages of the Oscar Traynor Trophy after an away victory over Mayo.

Despite being appointed manager of the Clare Oscar Traynor team for the coming season at the CDSL AGM on Monday, there is a strong possibility Donie Garrihy will not be in charge of the team as they bid to retain the national title in the coming season.

There will be no change at the top table of Clare soccer for the upcoming season.
