Classy Corofin have all the angles covered

COROFIN (Galway) 2-19 - NEMO RANGERS (Cork)  0-10: The ultimate final team? If Dublin right now are that exampla gratis in inter-county football, the Galway men are the equivalent at club level.

Classy Corofin have all the angles covered

And they have been doing it long before the current Dublin outfit. In their three final appearances, they have made their presence felt each time. What’s more, their average winning margin is now 10 points.

Saturday’s comprehensive victory over the most decorated club team in the country was the joint-third largest in All-Ireland Club SFC history. But for Luke Connolly’s late converted free, it would have had a place on its own and not tied with Crossmaglen’s 2-19 to 1-7 replay win over Garrycastle six years ago. For the record, Nemo Rangers retain the record for the most handsome final win - their 18-point triumph over Garrymore in 1982.
