Another Masters class sends Nemo past the Barrs

NEMO RANGERS advanced to the quarter-final of the Evening Echo Senior Football Championship by virtue of a 0-12 to 0-7 victory over arch rivals, St Finbarr’s, in what was at times an ill-tempered tie at Páirc Uí Rinn last evening.

For a long period, it appeared as if Nemo were heading for a runaway victory as, thanks to James Masters, they went into the half-time break leading 0-8 to 0-1, with Paul Murphy giving St Finbarr’s their point in the 29th minute.

But the speed of the game and the intensity of the exchanges kept spectators on their toes throughout that first half, and then St Finbarr’s injected new interest when they launched a second-half revival that yielded five unanswered points to cut the arrears to two going into the final quarter.
