TUS Clare SHC Round 3 Manager Preview - Clonlara & Sixmilebridge

Clonlara manager Donal Madden says his side are targeting their best performance of 2026 so far to ensure they qualify for the Clare Senior Hurling Quarter Finals. The 2023 Canon Hamilton winners take on Inagh Kilnamona in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg on Saturday evening, knowing Ballyea are breathing down their necks, should they lose. The Combo are already guaranteed passage to the next round, with a draw or better guaranteeing Clonlara would join their opponents in the quarter final. Madden says they're focused on vastly improving from their two previous outings. Throw in on Saturday is at 5pm, with commentary on Clare FM thanks to Midwest Masonry Limited. Meanwhile, Sixmilebridge boss John O'Meara claims his side are looking to build on the momentum from their win over Newmarket last time out. The Bridge take on the side that dumped them out of the 2025 championship this weekend, needing a positive result to have a chance of qualifying for the next round. O'Meara says the squad are relishing the knockout feel of Sunday evening's tie. Throw in on Sunday is at 4pm, with commentary on Clare FM thanks to Flan O’Neill’s Building Supplies and Tool Hire, Smithstown Industrial Estate, Shannon.
