A well taken Dominic Griffin goal from a free was quickly followed by another Clooney Quin goal ensuring they continued to lead at the water break by 3. As Miltown pushed up chasing the match winning scores, a number of Colin Hayes saves and great defensive work from Niall Toomey ensured they stayed in touch. Points from Ralph Whelehan and Ronan Keavey were followed by Clooney Quin scores ensured the East Clare side emerged victorious on a scoreline of 2-7 to 1-5.
