Classy Corofin far from finished

Corofin 2-14, Mountbellew-Moylough 0-10...Corofin has not been short on success in recent years, but you get the feeling that this one tasted a bit sweeter than most as they flexed their muscle and swept past Mountbellew-Moylough to claim their fifth title in a row at Tuam Stadium.

This is the first time they have won the Frank Fox Cup five years on the bounce, joining an illustrious group together with Tuam Stars and Ballinasloe — although those two clubs have strung together seven titles in succession, which you’d imagine is the next target of this ambitious club.

In the build-up, Corofin were doubted in some places as a young Mountbellew-Moylough accumulated an amazing 7-73 in their five champions games, but even after the sending-off of Cathal Silke before half-time, the pretenders could not kick on.
