St Finbarr\u2019s claimed the AOS Seand\u00fan Division 3 Football League title as they defeated Nemo Rangers in the decider at Ballinlough on Saturday.<\/p>\n
This game was dictated by the wind as the Trabeg side were restricted to a single score in the opening half.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second half was more evenly contested as Nemo Rangers, despite being reduced to 14 players in the 38th minute, outscored the Togher side by 1-10 to 0-7, with three of their scores coming from outside the St Finbarr\u2019s 40-metre arc.<\/p>\n
Colm Kerins put the Trabeg side ahead with a point from play after three minutes.<\/p>\n
The Togher side, who were playing with wind advantage in the first half, seized the initiative as Faol\u00e1n Linnane won possession from a St Finbarr\u2019s kick-out, to send Luke O\u2019Shea on a solo run for the game\u2019s opening goal.<\/p>\n
