Cork SFC Semi-final/Duhallow 1-7 Nemo Rangers 0-11: Nemo Rangers remain firmly on course to retain their county title after a two-point victory over spirited divisional side Duhallow in yesterday's semi-final replay in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Inspired by centre back Denis O'Brien and some dominant midfield play, Duhallow kicked some fine early scores through Niall Cronin and Donncha O'Connor to lead 0-6 to 0-2.
Nemo responded with three points but Cronin closed out the half with a point as Duhallow led 0-7 to 0-5.
Just as in the drawn match, Nemo controlled the second half. Their big players began to make an impact and up front, James Masters relentlessly converted placed-ball efforts.
A late O'Connor goal inspired hopes of a Duhallow revival but the winners refused to panic
