Corofin create football history as first to claim three-in-a-row

Thu, Jan 23, 2020

Corofin footballers succeeded in making history when they became the first team to win three All Ireland senior club crowns in succession.

Three reasons Corofin are winners

Thu, Jan 23, 2020

Management and set up: Kevin O’Brien is Corofin’s manager, but he will be the first to credit everyone involved in this set-up - coaches, strength and conditioning coach, dietician, stats team, and many more. Corofin are a most professional club outfit and it shows on the pitch, while off the pitch chairman Michael Ryder is credited with organsing the necessary funds, helped by club treasurer John Raftery and and secretary Jimmy McHugh.

Never-say-die attitude: On many occasions over the last three years Corofin have more than risen to the occasion, but there have been a few times when they have just scraped through. Look back to the All-Ireland semi-final of 2018 and the dreadful game against Moorefield where the entire country was baffled by the referee’s decision to send off Martin Farragher. The game was slow and scrappy, but it took a last-minute goal to advance. The drawn games in the 2017 Connacht semi-final and final were won in extra time, and of course, there were the last two county finals where they succeeded in forcing replays, thanks to scores with the last kick of the game from Michael Lundy (2018) and Gary Sice (2019). With huge mental strength, these players believe in themselves, their management and their process.

Tuam Stadium will host the hotly anticipated Connacht senior club final which will be contested between Corofin and Padraig Pearses of Roscommon on Sunday. Throw-in for this encounter is at 2pm.

Amazingly, this is Corofin’s sixth consecutive Connacht final and it remains to be seen whether there is tiredness in the legs which can be capitalised on, or if their experience will stand them in good stead for what is expected to be a stern test from the Roscommon champions.
