Errigal edged out
Errigal Ciaran's Peter Canavan shows his disappointment after losing to Nemo Rangers
Errigal's Peter Canavan ended on the losing side at Portlaoise

Errigal Ciaran 0-11 Nemo Rangers 1-12

Errigal Ciaran's dream of reaching the All-Ireland club final ended in disappointment at Portlaoise.

Despite finishing strongly, the Tyrone and Ulster champions fell to Nemo Rangers in Sunday's semi-final.

The Cork kingpins had four points to spare over Mickey Harte's men.

Nemo's opponents at Croke Park on St Patrick's Day will be Mayo club Crossmolina who beat Dunshaughlin 3-10 to 1-12 at Hyde Park.

Alan Cronin got Nemo's goal in the first half, firing past John Devine after taking a pass from Stephen O'Brien.

Mark Harte landed first half frees for Errigal but was outscored by Nemo's free-taker Colin Corkery.

Darragh Tierney had a chance to score a goal for Errigal in the second half but he could not find the net.

Errigal had the arrears down to three points going into injury-time but Nemo scored the final point of the game and deservedly went through to the 17 March decider.

Errigal Ciaran: J Devine, B O'Donnell, C McGinley, D Neill, Emmet McGinley, P Horisk, D Harte, Pascal Canavan, P Loughran, Enda McGinley, M Harte, E Gormley, R O'Donnell, Peter Canavan, D Tierney.

Nemo Rangers: D Heaphy; L Kavanagh, N Geary, S O'Brien; G Murphy, M Cronin, M Daly; K Cahill, D Kavanagh; A Cronin, Stephen O'Brien, M McCarthy; J Kavanagh, C Corkery, W Morgan.
