Clara 3-4 Tullamore 1-11 .
With Ballinamere deemed unplayable Tullamore sportingly agreed to play the U21 FC quarter-final against Clara under lights in Parc Phronsias. On the day Clara were unlucky to lose by a single point. Played in a very hard, but sporting spirit, Clara led by 3-1 to 0-5 at half time. In a ding-dong battle in the second half Tullamore came back strongly and took the lead for the first time with three minutes left.
With time running out, Clara had two great chances to equalise but one went wide and the other hit the post. Well done to all our players, thirteen of whom will be available again next year as part of a strong squad.
