Larry Kavanagh: We knew we could win it from anywhere

Winning manager Larry Kavanagh trusted his players to recover after St Finbarr’s whirlwind start, as Nemo bounced back to claim their 20th Cork SFC title.

Admittedly, Nemo got off to a slow start, conceding 1-1 inside the opening three minutes before gaining a foothold. Yet, Kavanagh was relieved his side managed to get back in the game, quickly matching their opponents’ 1-1 before seeing off a late St. Finbarr’s comeback.

The Nemo manager admitted his was concerned at his side’s sluggish opening: “I was very concerned with our slow start because we were against the wind and they (St. Finbarr’s) were locking us in,” stated Kavanagh.
