Off Field Activities

Considerable focus over the last few months has been on getting the

clubhouse back to full running order following the extensive damage due to

a burst water pipe. The bar, reception area, hallways and gear room were

flooded but for the immense work done by the staff and numerous

volunteers the situation could have been a lot worse. Work is continuing

following an extensive drying out period with the aim of getting the facility

back to pristine condition in time for the Christmas period.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to date and the

likely disruption over the next few weeks.

Also over the last few weeks there has been an extensive overhaul of the

lighting system and the benefits of this are to be seen within the complex.

This project is due to finish shortly.

The new Nemo Website is now up and running at www.nemorangers.ie

On Field Activities

The Senior footballers reached the semi final of the county football Championship but were well beaten on the day by Ballincollig on a scoreline of 2-10 to 0-09. It was disappointing for the players and all those involved having put in such a tremendous effort all year. On the day Ballincollig deserved their victory and we congratulate them on winning the County final for the first time. On the league front Nemo have reached the final following a victory over O’Donovan Rossa and are due to play Carbery Rangers in the final on Sat 1st. Nov at 6.15pm The Intermediate footballers were beaten by Carrigaline on sat 13th Sept in Ballygarvan by the narrowest of margins. The game finished on a scoreline of Nemo 3-5 to Carrigaline's 2-9. Two well taken penalties by Alan Morgan late in the game were not enough to see them through. The league performance was not good and but hopefully 2015 will a major improvement. The Junior A team lost to a very strong Douglas team in the quarter Final of the championship on a scoreline of 1-16 to 1-08. In the league Nemo finished mid-table recording some notable wins in the course of the competition. The Junior B team lost to Douglas in the championship on a scoreline of 1-11 to 2-06. The team looks like finishing in the top half of the league with some very good performances during the campaign. The under 21A footballers secured the county championship with a tremendous victory over Ballincollig following a replay. See article below. The Junior A Hurlers were defeated by St Finbarrs in the Sports Turf Solution City Division Junior A Hurling Championship Final. Nemo had a considerable amount of chances on the night but were unable to make the most of the opportunities. The score at the final whistle was St. Finbarrs 3-11 to 2-11 for Nemo. In the league we had mix fortunes through the year but ended up in the top half of the table.

A powerful display by mid-field pairing of Jack Horgan and Alan O’Donovan paved

the way for a tremendous victory over Ballincollig in the U21A County football

final replay. Nemo made no mistakes this time, having left Pairc Ui Rinn on the

previous week feeling they had left the game behind them after allowing

Ballincollig to snatch 2 late goals.

Overall this was brilliant team performance with Nemo dominating proceedings

from start to finish. Nemo lead at the break on scoreline of 1-07 to 0-01. Conor

Horgan got the goal following great work by Donal O’Keeffe. A mini revival by

Ballincollig following a goal in the 43rd minute was quashed by a resilient Nemo.

The final score was Nemo 1-12, Ballincollig 1-04.

Well done to all involved, players, selectors and supporters.

Nemo Underage

Our Fe 14 footballers won the honour to represent Cork at the Feile Peil Na N’Og this year. Galway hosted the event and what a weekend the boys had. First may I express the clubs sincere gratitude to our host club Corofin. They really looked after the boys and made sure it was an enjoyable occasion for all involved. Many thanks Corofin. Nemo were in group B of Division 1 for the qualifier rounds. They started on Friday evening in Pearse Stadium in Galway against local team Claregalway. In a highly entertaining game the boys lost out by 2 points on a score line of 3-06 to 2-07. But they played really well and the omens were good for the rest of the qualifiers. Later Friday evening they played the Co. Down champions Bredagh. Playing some great football they won by 4-12 to 1-04. Saturday morning came the crunch qualifier tie against Corofin – their hosts! Played in Corofin this proved to a cracking game with the Nemo boys coming out on top 4-11 to 2-05. This set them up for a quarter final tilt against highly fancied Austin Stacks. It was back to Pearse stadium Saturday afternoon where Nemo put on a great display of attacking football to beat their Kerry rivals 2-08 to 1-03. The semi-final was played Sunday morning at the Connacht GAA centre. It was a very close affair against Dublin kingpins Ballyboden/St Endas. In a tense finish Nemo ran out narrow winners by 3-05 to 3-03. The cup final beckoned Sunday afternoon against Naas from Kildare. This is a team Nemo had previously played earlier in the year in the Mick O’Brien tournament. That time Nemo won. This time it was Naas’s turn. Nemo started well and were 6 points up close to the interval. But Naas grabbed an important goal just before half time. This proved the turning point as Naas dominated the second half. In the end it finished 1-06 to 2-09 for Naas. Nemo were a little unlucky but no complaints as Naas were deserved winners. We congratulate Naas sincerely on their great win and great sportsmanship shown on the day. Getting to the Division 1 cup final was a fantastic achievement for this Nemo team.

Fe 12 Stadium Football Blitz July 30th

23 Nemo boys took part in a very enjoyable football blitz in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Wednesday July 30th. They played selections from St Patricks (Limerick), Castlehaven and Glanworth. They equipped themselves very well in all the games. All the players played in each game and the boys really enjoyed playing in the Pairc. At the end they had a Q&A session with Cork senior footballer Eoin Cadogen. Many thanks to Eoin for taking the time to talk to the boys and to show them around the old stadium. They may well be the second last Nemo team to have played football in the old Pairc!

Fe 13 B Hurling League Final vs. Watergrasshill Sep 8th

Played in Mayfield this was a thrilling final that certainly matched the previous day’s All-Ireland for excitement. Nemo started really well and with goals from Robert Geaney and Patrick Campbell they opened up a decent lead. Watergrasshill were content to take their points and they did score some smashing minors. At half time Nemo led by 4-06 to 1-07. But the goals dried up for Nemo in the second half and the Nemo boys were mostly fighting a rear guard action. Great display by Colin Twohig in goal saved the day on several occasions. Also Finn Fhlannchadh, David Cotter and David Kenny all played really well as Nemo were under pressure throughout the second half. Only for some break away points by Scott Phillpott – who was immense throughout – Nemo would have been pegged back completely. With 3 minutes left they found themselves 2 points ahead – 3-09 to 4-08. Up stepped super sub Alan Barry to score a fantastic over the shoulder point to leave Watergrasshill looking for a goal. And they nearly got one only for the heroics of Jack O’Brien at center back and Colin Twohig in goal. Eventually with the light fading the whistle sounded and Nemo won. This was Nemo’s third year in a row winning the East divisions Fe13 B hurling final and it was a great achievement by the boys. Well done to them and all their mentors for their hard work throughout the year.

Nemo U14 V Rockban

Ladies Football and Camogie Nemo U16 Girls County Finalists

Nemo's U16 Girls gallant run in the C Count Championship ended in a bravely fought defeat to Kanturk in Mourneabbey recently. Having beaten Clann na Gael (Drimoleague) in the quarter final, a semi-final in Rathpeacon V's Rockban produced a high scoring, exciting draw, 6-12 a piece! The girls rallied in the replay with a suburb performance winning 5-07 to 0-09. Despite a resolute effort in the final Kanturk came out on top, 4-16 to 3 -11.

Unfortunately our captain, Saoirse Noonan missed out on the final as she was representing Ireland in the FAI U17 Woman’s European championship (Well done Saoirse!)

Next up is the Mid-Cork League final and we wish the girls all the best against Carrigaline
