Once bitten, twice shy – Paul Kerrigan and Nemo Rangers won’t be taking Clonmel Commercials for granted this weekend.

Back in the 2015 Munster SFC decider, the Cork kingpins were left empty-handed after conceding a goal to Michael Quinlivan with the last kick of the game.

It gave the Tipperary champions a 1-7 to 0-9 victory and the two clubs will renew acquaintances in Fraher Field on Sunday (2pm).

“I can remember because I was feckin captain,” 32-year-old Kerrigan said to the Irish Daily Star.

“They took a short kick-out. Myself, or one of the lads, fouled him, inside their 45.

“They took another short kick-pass to midfield. Another one of our lads fouled him.

“Then your man got up and launched it. Quinlivan caught it or broke it, and just swiveled. And it just dribbled into the far corner.

“I suppose our biggest lesson was, last minute of a Munster final and we were two points up – we just didn’t have enough bodies behind the ball.

“The sickening part is you didn’t have a chance to go for an equaliser. It was literally the last kick of the game.”
