All-Ireland sevens title captured by Corofin

GALWAY side Corofin captured the All-Ireland football sevens title when they recorded a 3-13 to 3-11 victory over Aodh Rua of Donegal at Glenlybn on Saturday.

By doing so, they made it a double for Galway in club competitions with Portumna having won the hurling crown a fortnight ago.

Corofin, who were All-Ireland club champions in 1998, led by a point at half-time with influential captain Alan Donovan making a major impact.
