Micheál O'Loughlin bagged 2-7 as Clonlara eased to a 2-19 to 1-10 victory over Kilmaley in today's Clare SHC semi-final replay at Cusack Park.

The win earns Clonlara a crack at local rivals Sixmilebridge in what will be their first final in six years in a fortnight's time. The involvement of Sixmilebridge and Clare legend Sean Stack in the Clonlara camp is sure to add spice to the occasion.

Kilmaley led by 1-6 to 0-7 at the break thanks to Diarmuid McMahon's 20th minute goal, but Clonlara reeled off 2-5 without reply within 10 minutes of the restart to surge into 2-11 to 1-6, with O'Loughlin getting both goals.

County stars Darach Honan and Colm Galvin were among the Clonlara scorers as they secured their place in the Canon Hamilton Cup decider with plenty to spare.
