Finance student Nolan gives credit to defence

Seven days after punching home the goal that won Castlehaven the Cork senior football title, Shane Nolan struck again on Sunday in Clonakilty.

The West Cork men were just getting on top of Limerick opponents Dromcollogher-Broadford in the Munster SFC quarter-final when Nolan, on as a sub for the second weekend in a row, rifled home a low drive for the game’s only goal.

“It was a bit different to last week’s goal,” said Nolan, a 22-year-old finance student in UCC. “Sean Dineen made a brilliant run through the middle, he managed to keep on going and popped it to me around the 13-metre line — it was an easy one for me to put it into the corner.”
