Three off as Barrs stymie Nemo in feisty League opener

Shields, Dennehy and Kerrigan off as Barrs hold rivals scoreless for 34 minutes

DERBY DAY: St Finbarr's opened the new, and long-anticipated, club GAA season in Cork with a Cork Credit Unions SFL Division 1A victory over southside rivals Nemo Rangers on Monday. Here, Steven Sherlock keeps Nemo's Steven Cronin at bay. 

Six points from Steven Sherlock helped 13-man St Finbarr’s overcome Nemo Rangers, who had Paul Kerrigan red-carded, in a feisty, scrappy opening round of the Cork Credit Unions Division 1A SFL at Togher on Monday.

It was a tense affair, the final scoreline of 0-11 to 1-3 an accurate reflection of proceedings with Nemo Rangers’ last score a Paul Kerrigan goal in the 26th minute.
