Clare Champions march on to Munster final

Galtee Rovers 0-04 Kilmurry/Ibrickane 2-06

2004 champions Kilmurry/Ibrickane won through to next month's Munster club SFC final with a comfortable semi-final victory over Galtee Rovers at Quilty.

The west Clare men are through to face Limerick side Drom-Broadford on 7 December - the sides previously met at the quarter-final stage in 2004, RTE News reports. Rovers, who were competing in the provincial competition for the first time in 27 years, struggled in the wintry conditions at Quilty.

Their first point arrived just before half-time and goals from Noel Downes and Paul O'Connor asserted Kilmurry/Ibrickane's dominance.
