Tuesday, 3 May 2016 22:07

Nemo Rangers opened their Senior Football Championship title defence with a ten point win over Duhallow in their Round 1 clash at Pairc Ui Rinn on Tuesday night.

The Champions led just five points to two when Colin O'Brien received a straight red card in the 20th minute, and while Michael Vaughan closed the gap to just two for the divisional side, minutes later came the first of three goals in the opening half that would put this result beyond doubt.

Three goals in seven minutes, the first through Ciaran Dalton, followed by Conor Horgan, while Dalton finished again for the third.

At half time Nemo led 3-07 to 0-05, and while Duhallow held them to a one point margin in the second half, it finished a comfortable victory for Nemo at 3-14 to 1-10.
