Nemo go extra mile in ‘game of a lifetime’ against Slaughtneil

Nemo Rangers (Cork) 2-19 Slaughtneil (Derry) 1-14 (After extra-time): Snapshots from an encounter for the ages in Portlaoise: 24 minutes gone, Nemo desperately seeking their second wind after a dismal start and Tomas Ó Sé, 40 this summer, in possession down on the left wing. 

The Kerry icon feigns to shoot and buys a little time for himself to trot clear of Shane McGuigan and fist a crucial score. Nemo, the standard bearers of club football, are clinging on for dear life.

39 minutes on the clock and the seven-times All-Ireland winners, still trailing, this time by two points, are out of possession and under the cosh. The bookmakers seem to have called it right by installing Slaughtneil as considerable favourites.
