Nemo never in danger as Connolly shines

Despite dominating proceedings from the outset, defending champions Nemo Rangers were left clinging onto a two-point lead at the end of this City U21 football final in Ballinlough yesterday.

On a day when Nemo’s wastefulness in front of goal almost proved their undoing, Cork U21 panellist Luke Connolly showed his class with a contribution of 1-4.

While the scoreline suggests an even encounter, Nemo’s tally of 15 wides to Douglas’s four paints a more accurate picture of this final which should have been out of Douglas’ reach by half-time.
