Morgan edges champs home

THE result was anticipated but Nemo Rangers must show marked improvement on this display at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday to successfully defend their Evening Echo Cork SFC title.

Without several regulars, the champions were put to the pin of their collars to see off the Seandun challenge and advance to a quarter-final with Carbery.

Had the divisional side displayed greater self-belief, they could have produced the shock of the championship. But ultimately, Nemo’s experience came to the fore when the need was greatest, with Martin Cronin and Derek Kavanagh their chief heroes.
