There’s a familiar look to the top of Division 1 of the Cork Credit Unions SFL after round five as the top three places are occupied by what are widely regarded to be the top three teams in the county. Nemo Rangers are on top with a 100% record as they slipped ahead of Castlehaven as a result of the west Cork side’s loss to the third wheel of the triumvirate, St Finbarr’s.

That game took place in Neenan Park, Togher on Sunday morning and the two great rivals were deadlocked at 0-5 to 1-2 at the break. Reese McInerney had 0-3 for the Barrs while Jack Cahalane goaled for the Haven. The city side pulled away on the resumption with McInerney kicking another 0-3, corner back Dylan Byrne raised two white flags and Cian O’Sullivan struck for a goal. Robbie Minihane and Jamie Walsh pointed for the Haven but that couldn’t prevent them from suffering their first loss of the season as it ended up 1-11 to 1-4 in favour of the Barrs.
