O’Brien’s goal decisive for depleted Nemo

NEMO RANGERS’ goal in the 17th minute proved all-important in deciding this Cork SFC fourth round tie at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

And, it was notable that the player who scored it, team captain Sean O’Brien, was forced off a few minutes later because it added to injury problems which denied them eight starting players.

It was little consolation to Douglas - inspired at various stages by Cork representatives Eoin Cadogan and Eoin Cotter and leading scorer Mark Harrington — that they pushed their neighbours so closely. The fact is that unforced errors – one led directly to the concession of the goal – cost them vital scores.
