Loughmore/Castleiney missed out on progression in the Munster senior club football championship yesterday.
The Mid Tipp side were in Páirc Uí Rinn were they were beaten by Cork champions Nemo Rangers on a scoreline of 0-19 to 1-08.
John McGrath scored a goal in the first half with the sides level 1-03 to 0-06 at the break however Nemo showed their class in the second half to progress to the provi bc USL semi final.
Speaking after the game, Loughmore manager Greg Ramsbottom says his side’s inefficiency was costly:
“I thought in the first half we dominated possession, we certainly won the kickout battle.
“Just probably that efficiency thing today overall across the two halves cost us. I think the first four or five attacks for us we – probably we were unlucky not to get a goal and a couple of points to follow – we missed that so.
Not getting on the score sheet at the start when we were on top of them in many aspects of the play went against us.”
Elsewhere yesterday Killenaule progressed to the Munster intermediate club football semi-final.
The Robins had a quarter-final win over Limerick’s Na Piarsiagh in Clonmel Sportsfield, where it ended up 1-11 to 1-09.
