Justice done as Mannix earns Colman’s a replay
The Cork college had dominated possession and always looked that little bit slicker on a heavy pitch. But two first-half goals from a physically stronger Nenagh outfit looked like being enough to take them into the semi-final. Credit to Colman’s however, they stayed patient, stuck to their task, got their just reward.
The first of those goals, which came in the 14th minute, with Nenagh trailing 0-4 to 0-2, had a touch of good fortune about it. Free-taker David Nolan failed to lift a 25m free yet the ground stroke, fell to perfectly placed centre-forward David Gleeson to ram home from point blank range.
