Cratloe remain on course for a second Clare SFC and SHC double in three seasons after progressing to the Jack Daly Cup decider at the expense of holders Miltown at Cusack Park yesterday.

Colm Collins' charges recovered from the concession of four first half goals to prevail by 2-15 to 4-5 after extra-time. Clare dual star Podge Collins' 46th minute goal helped the 2014 champions to force extra-time after they had trailed by 4-1 to 0-6 at half-time. In the first period of extra-time, county hurler Conor McGrath netted as Cratloe went on to complete a great comeback.

Cratloe's opponents in Sunday week's final will be Kilmurry-Ibrickane who powered to a 2-11 to 1-4 victory over last year's runners-up Cooraclare in yesterday's other semi-final at Doonbeg.

Leading by 0-5 to 0-1 at the break, Aidan Moloney's side put the result beyond doubt with second half goals from Michael O'Dwyer and Keelan Sexton.
