Corofin make history with Galway four in a row

Corofin 0-16 Salthill-Knocknacarra 0-11: Four Galway senior football titles in a row for the first time in their history is the reward for Corofin, who were dominant from the first to last minute thanks to their slick attack, led by Jason Leonard and his nine points.

Two clubs in the county – Tuam Stars and Ballinasloe – have managed to win seven titles back to back, but this run of dominance now has Corofin just six wins behind the Stars, who have 24 Frank Fox Cups to their name.

Even without the hamstrung Gary Sice, you always got the impression that Corofin had plenty in reserve had they been really tested by Salthill-Knocknacarra, but in the end their classy pack of forwards found space too easily and often to be denied on the day.
