Rossas finish in fine style

A FOOTBALL treat in Brinny on Saturday, two outstanding teams, all-out commitment and some terrific scores.

In the end it was O’Donovan Rossa who took the spoils, thus booking a place in the Cork U21 AFC semi-final, but it was rough on a Nemo Rangers side that led for most of a free-flowing contest only to be denied at the death.

Despite the fact Nemo were missing five of their city championship winning side, you’d hardly have noticed it in the opening half, though the city kingpins did struggle around midfield where Donal Óg Hodnett and Shane Crowley ruled the roost for Rossas.
