Nemo nous steers them to thrilling 20th Cork title
Before anyone latches onto the fact that, for a second week running, Nemo Rangers almost frittered away a substantial county final lead, consider this: they were second best in most departments in the first half, and St Finbarr’s frustration was palpable at 1-5 each with five minutes left to the break. Imagine so how the Barr’s felt trudging to the dressing rooms 2-6 to 1-5 in arrears, having held the whip hand with the breeze, and shooting 10 wides to boot?
That, in essence, is the Nemo calling card, not unlike that other footballing force across the county bounds, Dr Crokes — a precious ability to manufacture and convert goal chances that, even on the underwhelming days, always give them a sniff. Four more saw them over the line yesterday — just — in a thoroughly entertaining Cork SFC final that sprinkled drama and memorable moments all over Páirc Ui Chaoimh’s formal unveiling.
