LOVE or dislike them, you just can’t ignore Nemo Rangers.
Nemo dig deep to foil Newcestown

When the chips are down, they rarely surrender, their battling qualities always a worry for any opposition. Newcestown, masters for much of a sloppy and sometimes ill-tempered Evening Echo Cork Co Premier IFC quarter-final clash at Ballinhassig on Saturday, looked home and dry deep into injury-time. And deservedly so for the way they mastered the city kingpins at their own game.

But they took their eye off the ball and a semi-final spot went abegging. Four points down and minus the services of corner-back Leonard McCarthy, who got a straight red, Nemo refused to buckle as a cracking goal from last year’s minor captain Colin O’Brien and a last gasp free from Willie Morgan earned them a replay that left Newcestown shattered.
