Ballyea and Clonlara must meet again to decide the destination of the Clare SHC silverware after they played out a 1-11 to 1-11 draw in Ennis today.

Cathal O'Connell came to Clonlara's rescue when sending over the equalising score right at the death.

Colm Galvin's goal sent Clonlara in with a 1-5 to 0-5 advantage at the break but substitute Martin O'Leary's 52nd minute strike got Ballyea back on level terms.

With Tony Kelly (0-9) very much to the fore, Ballyea edged their nose in front but O'Connell had the final say and a replay will be required to separate the sides.
