Classy Carbery Rangers in cruise control

Carbery Rangers 1-16 Duhallow 1-7: A fifth Cork SFC semi-final to look forward to for this group of Carbery Rangers players, but this wasn’t the gut-check they were looking for to steel them for a crack at Nemo Rangers in three weeks’ time.

The slickness of the Rosscarbery side is as admirable as their consistency, and their determination to atone for last year’s final disappointment against Ballincollig was evident in this thoroughly lob-sided quarter-final at Páirc Uí Rinn.

But they are no more informed today on whether their defence will withstand Nemo’s slick attacking patterns on October 4 because Duhallow offered a negligible threat throughout yesterday’s encounter.
