Corofin put 7-17 past All-Ireland intermediate champions in Galway opener

The reigning All-Ireland senior champions didn’t take long to find their groove.

COROFIN OPENED UP the defence of their Galway SFC crown with a high-powered 7-17 to 0-11 victory over Oughterard this afternoon.

The group opener featured the 2020 All-Ireland senior and intermediate champions, but Corofin’s class told as they ran in a huge score in the second-half.

Centre-forward Darragh Silke helped himself to 1-7, while further goals arrived from Michael Lundy, Jason Leonard, Dylan Canney, Dylan Wall, Michael Farragher and Matthew Cooley.

Corofin, who chasing their eight-county title, have now gone 36 games without defeat at championship level. There were also wins in Galway for Salthill-Knocknacarra and Mountbellew-Moylough over St Michael’s and Annaghdown respectively.

In Mayo, Lee Keegan’s Westport claimed the scalp of Aidan O’Shea’s Breaffy with a narrow one point victory while Ballina Stephenites ran out comprehensive winners over Kiltane.

Holders Garrycastle managed a vital four point win over neighbours Athlone, who are managed by Liam McHale in the Westmeath SFC.
