The draw for the Clare SHC semi-finals will be made this evening after Cratloe, Clonlara, Ballyea and Feakle booked their places in the last four at the weekend.

2014 champions Cratloe scored six unanswered points in the closing stages to see off Eire Og by 0-18 to 1-12 at Cusack Park. In yesterday's other quarter-final tie, second half goals from Gary Guilfoyle and Oisin Donnellan helped surprise packets Feakle to a 2-19 to 2-15 victory over Wolfe Tones of Shannon who were without the injured Aron Shanagher.

On Saturday, Clonlara were forced to withstand a Tulla comeback after storming into a 0-8 to 0-1 lead inside the first 20 minutes. The 2008 winners had only three points to spare in the end, 0-15 to 0-12. 

Ballyhea defeated Crusheen by 1-18 to 0-13 in the other quarter-final with former Hurler of the Year Tony Kelly accounting for 0-11 of their tally.
