There is plenty at stake in this weekend's Clare Senior Hurling Championship action, with many clubs knowing their fate will be decided over the next two days.
Four sides – Ballyea and Inagh/Kilnamona, and Broadford and O'Callaghans Mills – go head-to-head in a Cusack Park double-header tomorrow in what are effectively knockout ties with places in the Quarter-Finals at stake.
In a number of other games, though, teams will be looking to fight their way out of relegation battles, most notably in the match involving the defending champions.
Less than a year after they lifted the Canon Hamilton, Sixmilebridge take on Kilmaley knowing a third loss this year would endanger their Senior status.
