Molden’s goal decisive as Glanmire stand firm

THEY may have had to endure six agonising minutes of injury-time in the face of ferocious Nemo Rangers pressure, but Glanmire stood tall in the Páirc Uí Rinn sunshine yesterday.

Brendan O’Callaghan’s 66th minute point finally killed off the city challenge, so booking the Riverstown side a place in the Evening Echo Cork Co Premier IFC final against St. Vincent’s next weekend.

No question Glanmire were deserving winners of this semi-final replay, with Daniel Molden’s 52nd minute goal having a big say in that. But, leading by two points going into injury-time, they were pushed to the limit by a Nemo side that battled to the finish. They had to watch Joe Kavanagh fire an easy free chance wide, Liam O’Sullivan having a goal chance blocked down, but in the end Glanmire had the bottle and know-how to stand firm in a contest that was close throughout.
