LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2017:
Congratulations to our seniors who have qualified for the senior football championship quarter-final having defeated St James’ by 0-15 to 1-8, played in Pearse Stadium on Sunday afternoon. This game also doubled as the 2017 division 1 league final.
This win brings us to four-in-a-row league titles. Well done to captain, Micheál Lundy and the team.
We have been drawn to play Caherlistrane in the championship quarter-final on either Saturday or Sunday of this weekend. As ever we thank you for your support in Pearse Stadium and ask for your on-going support in the next game.
JUNIORS LOSE OUT:
Hard luck to our Junior A team who were defeated by Pádraig Pearses in the North Board final played in Barnaderg on Saturday. This was an excellent game of football with the teams tied at 1-5 each at half time and level again at full time 2-13 each.
However, Pearses went on to win by 3-19 to 2-16 in extra time. The scoreline does not reflect the closeness of the game even in extra time as with time almost up we were down by 2 points and had a chance of a goal. This was denied and Pearses went upfield to score 1-1 without reply.
Conor Creaven and team captain, Alan O’Donovan, scored the Corofin goals. Well done to all the players involved with this panel and their dedicated mentors. The team played excellent football throughout the campaign and gave us great entertainment in all their games.
SYMPATHY:
The Club offers its sympathy to the families and friends of Padraic Connolly, Dublin, uncle of Patrick Connolly and Mary Langan, Clough; Hannah Tarsnane, New Jersey, USA, sister of Eddie Collins, Caherhugh; and Bridget Duffy (née Ward, Anbally), Barnaboy, Turloughmore; mother of Tom Duffy, Tavanagh.
