Powerful Rangers rally to book place in final

Nemo Rangers 2-9 Carrigaline 0-8

Tremendous free-flowing football from both sides all through, with Barry O’Driscoll a class act for Nemo up front. But even when Carrigaline did put it up to the city kingpins with a late first-half burst, the Trabeg side had the steel and composure to do the business when the going got tough.

A lively competitive opening half, some free-flowing football as Wayne Bruton gave Carrigaline a quick advantage with a point. And they needed it for with Brian Hayes winning some great ball around midfield, Nemo shot into a 0-3 to 0-1 lead after the opening quarter thanks to superb scores from Shane Martin, Greg Browne and Ciaran O’Donovan.
