Nemo Rangers (Cork) 2-19 Slaughtneil (Derry) 1-14Tomás Ó Sé has won bigger tournaments with his native Kerry and enjoyed more illustrious occasions than Portlaoise on a freezing February evening, yet this win must feel particularly special. Ó Sé scored his second point during that blitzkrieg and was also involved in Connolly’s 44th minute goal when he blasted in from close range. It seemed anyone’s game at that stage but Nemo showed both quality and endurance to outscore Slaughtneil by 0-7 to 0-0 in the first-half of extra-time. Slaughtneil: A McMullan; P McNeill, B Rodgers, K McKaigue; K Feeney, C McKaigue, F McEldowney; P Bradley, P Cassidy; Shane McGuigan (0-2), R Bradley, M McGrath; C Bradley (0-9, 6f), C O’Doherty (1-0), B Cassidy (0-2). Subs: B McGuigan for McEldowney (47 mins), Se McGuigan (0-1) for McGrath (40), G Bradley for R Bradley (66), C McAllister for Feeney (70), P McGuigan for O’Doherty (extra-time)Referee: M Deegan (Laois).
