Premier SFC: Nemo Rangers prevail after huge battle against Newcestown
Extra time required before beaten finalists of the last two years get past West Cork side
Nemo Rangers 2-14 (2-1-12) Newcestown 0-19 (0-4-11) (after extra time)
Author: Denis Hurley
In amassing a record number of Cork county titles, Nemo Rangers have quashed many a fairytale; Newcestown came so close to bucking the trend.
Sunday’s McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC semi-final at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh required more than 80 minutes before a winner could be found. There were periods where it seemed as if Newcestown’s first final appearance would materialise, but instead, as so often before, Nemo found a way to win.
