Corcoran relieved after defeat of native county

Since 2008 Niall Corcoran has soldiered with the Dublin senior hurlers and after watching his native Galway take provincial honours last year, he was delighted to secure an historic Leinster SHC success with the Dubs yesterday.

The Meelick-Eyrecourt native was an All-Ireland minor winner with Galway in 2000, with players such as Shane Kavanagh, Tony Óg Regan and Damien Hayes who form part of the Tribesmen's current senior panel.
