Sparking Nemo start four-in-a-row quest in style

A FUNNY game this in the drizzle and fading light in Midleton last night in the opening round of the Cork senior football championship.

After 19 minutes of effort from both sides, All-Ireland club finalists Nemo Rangers led Aghada by 0-3 to 0-1 before getting a goal either side of half time and enjoying a 13-point advantage at the three-quarters stage.

And then we saw Aghada persistence paying off with a goal from their best forward, Trevor O’Keeffe in the 54th minute and after Nemo lost team captain Maurice McCarthy for a second yellow card offence, they finally got their forward game going with a further goal and three points in an eight-minute period.
