A historic day for Newcestown as they made a statement with a deserved six-point win over Nemo Rangers in the McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC at Cloughduv on Saturday evening.
This Group 2 Round 1 battle was a repeat of last year’s semi-final clash, which Nemo won after extra time, but there can be no complaints about this result. A first championship win for Newcestown over Nemo when it comes to the big ball.
Newcestown were outstanding for the majority, albeit against a Nemo side down a few key players and never getting to the pitch of the game.
Scorers for Newcestown: S O’Sullivan 0-7 (2 2pt), J Meade 1-2, D Buckley 0-4 (1 2pt f, 0-1 f), E Collins 1-1, M McSweeney, L Meade 0-1 each.
Nemo Rangers: R Corkery 0-5 (1 2pt), M Cronin 0-3 (1 2pt, 0-1 f), A O’Donovan 1-0, C Horgan 0-2 (0-1 f), K Fulignati, B Murphy, C Shalloe 0-1 each.
