McCarthy: No arguments, we were beaten by a better team

IT may have felt like a lonely role for Ronan McCarthy to fulfil after yesterday’s Cork SFC final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, but there was plenty who could empathise with his plight.

The Douglas boss joined his brethren in Muskerry, Dohenys and Ilen Rovers, who have all in recent years been tasked with explaining the genesis of a Nemo Rangers county success. McCarthy had no qualms here in tipping his hat in the direction of superiority.

“First of all, I want to congratulate Nemo on their four-in-a-row. We’ve no arguments. We were beaten by a better team on the day. They dominated the game throughout and we never got a foothold in it at all. We’ve no complaints.”
