'They were hot favourites coming in today and a lot of things were in our favour, in regards to being underdogs and having a bite to us'
Corofin's unbeaten streak ends at 49 after shock defeat to Mountbellew Moylough

Eoin Finnerty kicked six points for Val Daly’s Mountbellew/Moylough

All-Ireland champions Corofin’s unbeaten run in the Galway championship was brought to a halt one short of 50 games as goals from Patrick Kelly and Paul Donnellan secured a shock 2-13 to 0-12 win for Mountbellew/Moylough at Pearse Stadium.

Maigh Cuilinn await in the decider following their pulsating victory over Tuam Stars, but the shock of the year was reserved for the second game as Corofin tasted county championship defeat for the first time since 2012.
