Podge Collins came off the bench to score two points as Clare secured promotion to Division 3 with a four-point victory over Antrim at Creggan.

The Banner led by two points at the break - 0-4 to 0-2 - and two late points from David Tubridy guaranteed the win for Colm Collins' side.

The full-forward settled for a point from a penalty in the 63rd minute after Gary Brennan was dragged to the ground and Clare will now take on neighbours Tipperary in the Division 4 decider.
