O’Neill makes it tough for Nemo as Killavullen earn a replay

AT last, a Cork football championship game to savour, with pace, smashing points and wholehearted commitment as Killavullen earned a replay with Nemo Rangers in their Premier IFC third round clash at Rathcormac.

Nemo will bemoan missing an early penalty and two gilt edged goal chances, while they also had midfielder Liam O’Sullivan sent off. Killavullen deserved their draw, however, with young Joe O’Neill always a thorn in the Nemo defence.

Nemo hit the ground running, and, after only 30 seconds, Padraig O’Shea put them in front. Three minutes later, Nemo’s Michael Kearney put Joe Kavanagh through, and, when he was upended, O’Sullivan cannoned his penalty effort off the crossbar.
