Shane O’Donnell has rejoined the Clare senior hurling panel following his return from Harvard University last week.

Corofin coasted to a third All-Ireland crown in five years, the current kingpins of club football totally outclassing a frustrated Dr Crokes side.

A stunning second-half display from Corofin earned the reigning All-Ireland club champions a third provincial championship title in a row this afternoon.

Just how far can Mayo’s Ballintubber go based on this resilient performance? That debate is for another day after they dug out a one-point win against Tourlestrane, the Sligo champions, in this low-scoring yet thoroughly absorbing Connacht GAA Club SFC quarter-final.

Galway’s footballing purists lamented the state of the game after this replayed county final at Pearse Stadium, but with their 20th title secured Corofin couldn’t care less about entertainment value.

Corofin’s five-year reign as Galway SFC champions looked to have ended yesterday, but captain Micheál Lundy rescued them with an equaliser in the fourth minute of added time to force a replay and deny a determined Mountbellew/Moylough at Pearse Stadium.

Dr Crokes will face Slaughtneil in next month’s All-Ireland club SFC decider after overcoming Corofin in today’s semi-final.

Corofin (Galway) 2-13 St Brigid’s (Roscommon) 0-5: In a way, it was a pity that referee Jerome Henry blew full-time just as Michael Farragher bore down on goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time, as another point would have given Corofin the biggest winning margin ever in a Connacht final.

Corofin (Galway) 4-14 St Mary’s (Sligo) 2-6: Classy Corofin cruised into a second successive Connacht club SFC decider as the reigning All-Ireland champions were just too good for Sligo outfit St Mary’s in a one-sided provincial semi-final at Markievicz Park.

Barely had the tears dried and the emotions been choked back from Wednesday’s farewell to St Andrews by Arnold Palmer when it felt like you needed to start them all over again in Thursday’s opening round of the 144th Open Championship.

Galway’s powerful showing in the first period of extra-time dumped the holders, Sligo, out of the Connacht Junior Championship in last night’s quarter-final at Kilcoyne Park, Tubbercurry.

NINE points from Davitts captain Michael Conroy propelled the Mayo champions into the All-Ireland Club intermediate football final as they ran out easy winners over Éire Óg, Greystones in Tullamore yesterday.

ÉIRE ÓG, Greystones stepped up their game in the second half of this Leinster IFC final and ran out winners by two points over Confey of Kildare at Aughrim yesterday.

DESPITE being given a first-half scare, defending champions St Brigid’s cruised into the Connacht Club SFC final with a merited six-point defeat of plucky Tourlestrane at Markievicz Park yesterday.

ALL six forwards and two half-backs found the range for Sligo champions Tourlestrane as they booked a Connacht club semi-final against St Brigid’s of Roscommon next month.

FR O’NEILL’S had to call on all of their experience to book a place in the Cork IHC final where they will meet either St Catherine’s or Bandon.

SEANIE O’CONNELL proved the scoring hero for Milford last night as his 58th minute point was a match winner when they advanced past Barryroe at Páirc Uí Rinn.

MILFORD ended Fermoy’s IHC title ambitions on Saturday night after they edged the north Cork side in a tough, stuttering 60-minute encounter at Kildorrery.
