Nation leads Nemo to glory
While they trailed 0-2 to 0-1 after 11 minutes, once Luke Connolly’s goal put them 1-2 to 0-2 ahead on 16 they began to dominate and, bar a brief suggestion of a Bantry revival at the start of the second half, the outcome was never in doubt.
Central to the victory was the excellent display of captain David Nation, included as a late change despite suffering from a cruciate injury. His aerial ability was key, especially in turning the momentum in the middle period of the first half, and manager Larry Kavanagh admitted it had been a gamble to play him.
