Three teams have now qualified for the quarter finals of this years Clare SFC following yesterdays second round games.
St Josephs Miltown were first to book their spot, with a comprehensive 3-12 to 0-6 win over St Senans Kilkee.
A goal from Eoin Cleary helped them into a 1-6 to 0-5 lead at half time, and Kilkee's failure to add to their five point tally was crucial.
It took them 25 minutes of the second period to score, and by that time Miltown had registered another 1-6, Eoin Curtin with the goal.
Conor Cleary added a third green flag to finish the scoring, and book his sides passage to the last 8.
Clondegad are also through after a 2-10 to 0-11 point win over fellow parishioners Lissycasey.
A brace of goals in the opening period from Brian Carrig and Podge McMahon were the crucial scores in this one, with Carrigs coming from a disputed spot kick.
They led by 2-5 to 0-6 at half time, and closed the game out to advance to the quarter finals.
The third team to book their spot were last years beaten finalists Doonbeg.
In a dour encounter in Kilmihil, they overcame St Josephs Doora Barefield by 0-14 to 0-6.
A half time score of 0-5 to 0-0 in favour of the Magpies tells the story of the opening half, and indeed the game.
