Corofin on course

Corofin remain on course to pick up their fourth Galway SFC crown in five years after surviving a Paul Conroy-led comeback by St James at Tuam Stadium yesterday.

The defending champions failed to score in the closing 20 minutes, but goals from Kieran McGrath and Tomás Costello in the first-half ensured their spot in the last four.

The city side looked to be well out of contention at half-time after they trailed 2-7 to 0-4 in shocking conditions./But a goal by substitute Eoin Teagle two minutes after the restart pulled them back to within six points of the champions.
