VIDEO: Nemo Rangers stunned as Clonmel Commercials make history

Nemo Rangers (Cork) 0-9 Clonmel Commercials (Tipperary) 1-7: “Unbelievable,” said Kevin Harney, mere seconds after writing his name into the annals of sporting history as the first Tipperary club footballer to hold aloft the Munster senior crown.

“Unbelievable” would ring out from the microphone on a further four occasions during his passionate and, at times, emotional acceptance speech. For that is exactly what Clonmel’s Munster final victory, and the manner in which it was achieved, was: unbelievable.

As the clock ticked into the second minute of second-half injury-time, Seamus Kennedy was fouled on the halfway line. With the scoreboard reading 0-9 to 0-7 in Nemo Rangers’ favour, there was no option, and, indeed, no time but to punt it long in the direction of the opposition posts.
