Nemo Rangers manager Larry Kavanagh takes a straightforward view of tomorrow’s All-Ireland club semi-final; reproduce what took them past Dr Crokes in the Munster final and Nemo should be present at GAA HQ on St Patrick’s Day.

COLÁISTE Chríost Rí bridged a seven-year gap since their last Corn Uí Mhuirí triumph when they beat first-time finalists Pobal Scoil Chorca Dhuibhne in yesterday’s decider in Dr Crokes grounds in Killarney.

COLÁISTE CHRÍOST RÍ upset the title ambitions of a highly rated Tralee CBS side in a magnificent Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final at Knocknagree yesterday to set up an unexpected final against Pobalscoil Chorcha Dhuibhne on March 6.
