ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Corofin were given a late scare against Salthill-Knocknacarra in their opening Galway SFC clash on Saturday.
Corofin dominated for long stretches at Kenny Park but a late Shane Maughan penalty — his second of the afternoon — left just three points between the sides at the final whistle.
Gary Sice kicked five frees for Stephen Rochford’s side who led by the minimum, 0-5 to 0-4, at the break.
And the gap between the sides remained at a single point when Maughan scored his first penalty to make it 0-8 to 1-4.
Corofin’s superiority showed and they outscored their opponents by seven points to two in the final stretch before Maughan’s second, which ultimately proved to be little more than a consolation.
