Clonmel Commercials’ are now the firm favourites to win the Munster club football title after sweeping past Nemo Rangers on Saturday night.
Their seven-point victory marked just the fourth time that a Tipperary club trumped Cork opposition in the competition’s history, taking the 1970-71 staging as the first edition that fed into the new All-Ireland Club Championship at the time.
Three of those wins belong to Clonmel, who inflicted a sickening defeat on Nemo in the 2015 final through Michael Quinlivan’s last gasp goal, while they also beat St Finbarr’s back in 1990.
