CLARE SHC:HOLDERS CRATLOE drew 1-12 to 0-15 with 2008 champions Clonlara at Cusack Park yesterday and the teams will have to do it all over again to see who will face Crusheen in the hurling decider.
Cratloe led 0-8 to 0-5 at half-time. But going into injury-time the sides were level, 0-14 to 1-11. Conor Ryan fired over a Cratloe score and, in the last action of the game, Clonlara's Paul Nihill landed a free to set up a replay.
Crusheen reached the decider for the first time since 2007 as a result of a 0-13 to 0-12 victory over Sixmilebridge on Saturday.
