Corofinshock as fine upped €500

GALWAY champions Corofin have been hit with an extra €500 fine after an appeal to the Connacht Council backfired.

Corofin appealed a decision by the provincial body to fine them €5,100 following incidents at the Connacht SFC final in Kiltoom where St Brigid’s (Roscommon) retained their title.

Afterwards, referee Liam Devenney was escorted from the field after being accosted by angry Corofin members.
