WEST CLARE rivals Doonbeg and Kilmihil will meet in the Clare senior football championship relegation play off.
Both Doonbeg and Kilmihil have two further chances to save their senior status following defeats in their first three outings of this year’s championship. Corofin have drawn the short straw and are automatically in the relegation final where they will meet the losers of the Doonbeg versus Kilmihil tie.
It will be the first meeting of the rivals at senior level since 2021 where Kilmihil prevailed in a preliminary quarter-final running out winners on a score of 1-9 0-11, they went on to contest the quarter-final where they were defeated by Kilmurry Ibrickane by a goal.
There will be a North Clare derby in the intermediate relegation play-off. Ennistymon’s second side will meet Liscannor with the losers to face Killimer in the relegation final.
Relegation play offs are fixed to be played on September 14th/15th with the relegation finals down for decision on September 28th/29th.
