CLAREMONT was knocked out of the 2013 Foxtel Cup in Adelaide last night in a tough contest against SANFL side West Adelaide.

Jake Murphy was Claremont's best with 24 disposals, 10 tackles, seven clearances and seven inside-50s.

West Adelaide will meet East Fremantle in the Foxtel Cup Grand Final at AAMI Stadium on Tuesday, August 6.
