O’Donovan calls tune for Corofin

ANY notions that Corofin were going to relinquish their dominance of the Galway SFC were blown away at Tuam Stadium yesterday as they produced a stunning display that has now seen them lift 11 titles in 21 years.

In front of 5,000 at Tuam Stadium they were handed an advantage when the Stars opted to play against the wind for the first half. Wing-back Alan Burke pointed from 35 yards in just 20 seconds and that seemed to trigger a shoot-from-anywhere policy.

Corofin would not be renowned for long distancing shooting or, indeed, for amassing big tallies, but they blew that notion away too.
