Clon blitzed as Nemo hit top gear

THEIR season may have culminated at the quarter-final stage last season but Nemo Rangers have issued a powerful response in 2010.

Last night before a crowd of 2,340 spectators in Páirc Uí Rinn they hammered reigning title holders Clonakilty in style in the Evening Echo Cork SFC semi-final and they will stride forward to the final date in a fortnight in a healthy state.

That decider will be the ninth that the Trabeg outfit have contested in the last 12 years and they will be striving to collect their eighth crown in that time frame. St Finbarrs and Carbery Rangers still have ambitions to pen a different script, but if Nemo Rangers replicate the excellent form they displayed last night it is difficult to foresee them experiencing an afternoon of anguish.
