After winning eight out of nine matches and achieving joint first place in Division 1B of the Clare Cup Division (along with Feakle) Broadford exited out of the competition on Saturday 2nd September.
Playing in Sixmilebridge against Cratloe in their quarter-final, Broadford got off to a great start with a goal in the first five minutes from Shane Taylor after Stiofain McMahon ran in and passed the ball on to Taylor from the 21-metre line. By the end of the first half Broadford, thanks to points from Donie Whelan, Diarmuid O’Brien, Padraig Hickey, Diarmuid Moloney, Darren Chaplin & Shane Taylor, were ahead six points on a score line of 1-09 to 0-06.
The second half took a very different turn however and Cratloe achieved a complete turnaround of the situation starting with their first goal in the first minute back on the field. This was the start of a rampage that Broadford were unable to hold back and with two more goals and five points in 17 minutes and before Broadford were able to rally to a response, Cratloe were now ahead by eight points (1-09 to 3-011).
Broadford, unable to overcome Cratloe’s dominance, did hold them back in the last quarter of the match and added a further three points to their score but the damage was done at this stage and Cratloe went on to win 1-12 to 3-13.
