Magpies and St.Josephs celebrate


 

By Seamus Hayes

All-Ireland final replay weekend got off to a bright start for Cratloe and Clarecastle when they catured the junior A and under 21 B hurling championship titles respectively on Friday evening.

Through to the final since early May, the under 21 players from Clarecastle and Feakle-Killanena finally played their final at Dr. Daly Park in Tulla. The magpies led by three points, 1-8 to 1-5 at half time. Feakle-Killanena fought back to within a point of their opponents ten minutes into the second half but the magpies pulled away in the final twenty minutes to secure the title.

Meanwhile, at Sixmilebridge, Cratloe scored a narrow win over St. Josephs to claim the junior A crown. The sides were evently matched throughout but a goal in each half proved decisive for Cratloe who won on a final scoreline of 2-11 to 0-15.

Liscannor will continue in senior football in 2014 after they secured their status with a one point win over Wolfe Tones at Kilmihil. An early goal played a key part in the North Clare side’s victory.

Wolfe Tones will now play St. Breckans to determine who will make the drop to intermediate football for next season.
