Bantry in control as Nemo fail to sparkle
But, their victory over a Nemo Rangers side which waited too long to find their rhythm was secured because of their overall strength.
In essence, Canty’s principal value to his team was as a steadying influence on the ball and off it, with direct opponent Brian Twomey preventing him from dominating in the air. In this aspect of play, the second Bantry midfielder, Mark Delaney, was more prominent, particularly over the opening 20 minutes – when the West Cork side were dominant almost all over the field.
