Clare’s bid for promotion from Division Three of the National Football League will go to the final day.
A 0-15 to 0-12 win over Antrim means they make the trip to Newry next weekend with a chance of stepping up to the second tier.
Clare led 0-9 to 0-3 at the break with Antrim reduced to 14 men after a straight red card for Colm McLarnon in the closing stages of the opening period.
Antrim scored four of the last five scores of the game to ensure a nervy finish, but the goal they needed never arrived.
Elsewhere in Division Three, Wicklow’s win over Limerick means the Shannonsiders are relegated, while Sligo and Offaly played out a draw.
