Cork PIFC: Bantry Blues beat Nemo Rangers but neither progress to knockouts

In the end of it all, it left a strange picture: Bantry surviving, Nemo gone, and neither emerging with the prize they wanted.

Bantry Blues 2-13 (2-1-11) Nemo Rangers 1-11 (1-2-7)

Few things under the Cork championship formats torment a team like chasing margins.
