The reigning county champions admit they were lucky not to open their defence of the Canon Hamilton with a defeat.
Crusheen drew 1-13 apiece with Kilmaley last evening, a game which manager Michael Browne says they could and probably should have won.
Crusheen led by four points at half time, 0-9 to 0-5 but entered the closing stages in arrears and needed a 50m Paddy Vaughan free to secure the much needed point.
