The last three champions are all still standing in the race for the 2018 Clare Senior Football title.
The semi final draw tonight will see the holders Kilmurry Ibrickane joined by Cratloe, Miltown and an Ennistymon side who are featuring at this stage for the first time in their history.
The champions withstood a tough test from Corofin before running out comfortable winners on a 3-12 to 0-10 scoreline.
Selector Kieran Madigan say they knew they’d have to battle for the result.
Meanwhile Cratloe kicked a second half tally of 3-9 as they beat Cooraclare by 4-16 to 0-9 in their quarter final tie.
Riain Considine, Cathal McInerney, Billy Connors and Conal O’Hanlon all found the net for the 2014 champions.
Manager Colm Collins felt Considine’s goal just before the break gave them a great platform to build on.

Ennistymon reached a first ever senior semi final after beating Eire Óg by 2-12 to 2-10.
