Nemo too strong for Kerrymen

Nemo Rangers 0-16 Kerins O’Rahillys 1-7

However, even with Colin Corkery off the field injured at that stage, Nemo Rangers finished the stronger to guarantee a place in the Munster club football final for the third successive year. They will meet Monaleen in the decider. However, manager Billy Morgan felt that his side were unnecessarily vulnerable at the three-quarters stage: "We should have been home and dry then, but we made a lot of mistakes in the first quarter of the second half. We had chances but we failed to put them away. We were a bit casual. Kerins O'Rahillys coach Eoin Liston acknowledged the significance of the Cork champions' superior experience. Liston added it was arguably the Tralee side's 'worst display' of the season.

"But, I'm not going to blame our lads," he said. "They achieved their main objective, which was winning the Kerry county championship. It was a new experience for them, to come down from such a high and try and get back up again."
