High-fives for strutting Nemo Rangers

Nemo Rangers 5-11 St Nick’s 0-3 (Cork SFC quarter-final): Nemo Rangers may not be favourites to lift the Andy Scannell Cup this year, but this Steven O’Brien-coached, Trabeg side were strutting their stuff like champions-elect at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

It’s strange territory for a Nemo team to head into the last four under the radar. This isn’t a vintage Nemo side, either, merely a work-in-progress, but with the potential to be close to the finished product come the October bank holiday weekend, when medals are being handed out.

Having lived in the shadow of Castlehaven, Carbery Rangers and Ballincollig in recent seasons, Nemo are rebuilding with renewed energy.
