Nemo Rangers in charge as Douglas rue missed opportunities

In the first half, Nemo profited from Douglas’s wastefulness in front of goal – eight wides and two spurned goal chances – to build a 1-8 to 0-3 interval lead. Having come from four points down to draw the first game, it looked like they were set to coast to victory as Douglas appeared to still be lamenting their missed opportunity.
Despite being without Eoin Cadogan, who has an Achilles injury, they came roaring back upon the resumption and kicked seven of the eight points scored between the 31st and 46th minutes to cut the gap to just two points. As their manager Tony Leen put it, however, they “ran out of legs” and Nemo steadied themselves to push on again and book a quarter-final meeting with St Nicholas.
