O’Donovan goal seals final spot for Nemo

The scoreline may flatter them, but Nemo Rangers advanced to the Cork U21 football final after shrugging off the dogged challenge of Carrigaline in Ballygarvan on Saturday.

Though they led throughout, it wasn’t until full-forward Conor O’Donovan took a pass from Ciarán Dalton and blasted home their fourth goal that Nemo finally killed off the south-east representatives.

The city side, back in the final for the first time since they won in 2005, played the best of the football in the slippery conditions, although poor handling was also a feature of the game, with both sides guilty of bad misses, particularly in the first half.
