Ballincollig produce big display to master Nemo

OUTSIDERS Ballincollig produced the shock of the Evening Echo Cork SFC opening round at Ovens yesterday when defeating kingpins Nemo Rangers 3-4 to 1-7 to guarantee themselves senior status for at least another year.

There was no fluke about the result, despite Nemo storming into a 1-1 to 0-0 lead in the first minute through James Masters playing into the wind.

While full-forward John Kelly’s 57th minute goal was decisive, Ballincollig had a team of heroes. Kelly scored 1-1 from play and set up his brother Patrick for a goal.
