Cratloe and Clonlara will have to do battle once again to decide who will take part in the final of this year’s Clare Senior Hurling Championship
The sides drew in their clash at Cusack Park yesterday – Cratloe 1-12, Clonlara 0-15.
Cratloe led by three points at the break, but the 2008 Champions fought back to take a lead.
However a Cathal McInerney goal for Cratloe set up a tight finish – it looked like they had secured a spot in the final when Colin Ryan pointed in injury time, but Paul Nihill drew Clonlara level with a long range free deep into injury time.
The sides will now do battle again next week.
Cratloe boss Mike Deegan says a draw was a fair result.
The winners of that replay will take on Crusheen in the final, after they beat Sixmilebridge on Saturday
There was just one point to separate the sides after their clash at Cusack Park – Crusheen boss Michael Browne was relieved that his men were the victors
