14-man Corofin too strong for Milltown

Corofin 1-12 Milltown 1-09

Alan O’Donovan was sent off just before half-time, but three consecutive points after the restart and Gary Sice’s goal midway through the second-half ensured Corofin’s search for four titles in six years remains on course.

Bidding to reach their first football final since 2007, Milltown displayed plenty of hunger in the opening stages and by the sixth minute were 0-3 to 0-1 ahead.
