’Town leading chase for Premier glory

THE opening shots are fired in the 2009 Evening Echo County Premier IFC tonight in Cloughduv and the first battle of the year should be a lively affair.

Both Nemo Rangers and Newcestown will have high ambitions of a fruitful season in this grade and both can point to the fact that their 2008 campaign ended at the hands of the eventual championship winners, St Finbarr’s.

The timing of this fixture suits Nemo’s chances.
