On paper it should have been a highly competitive fixture. Instead it turned into a disappointing game.

The All-Ireland semi-final between Corofin and Nemo Rangers of Cork will take place on Saturday in Cusack Park, Ennis.

We wanted a kind draw. We knew if we got a game at home it would have been against one of the big hitters in round one so an away day was the likely outcome.

Corofin and Galway player Liam Silke won the inaugural AIB club footballer of the year when he was announced as the winner last weekend at a function in Croke Park.

This Saturday morning around 8.30am a Burke's bus will pull out of the Belclare community pitch with the Corofin football panel heading for Jones’s Road and a clash with the famous Cork club, Nemo Rangers, in the All-Ireland senior club football final.

Last week, I remember telling anyone that was willing to listen that Mayo will beat Cork but it won't be straightforward. Not in my wildest dreams could I have envisaged what occurred. This current crop has certainly put us through the ringer, we have been to hell and back, twice now in three weeks. A rollercoaster of emotions is just a massive understatement. Looking for a simple explanation is a waste of time.

There’s nothing won on the last day of January of note, but Mayo will hope that this will be the worst day they have this year as Cork ran riot on Leeside.

Aidan O’Shea will play his first football in Mayo colours since last years All Ireland semi-final replay defeat to Dublin when Mayo take on Cork in Páirc Ui Rinn on Sunday. The Breaffy man has been picked at centre-half-forward in Rochford’s first National Football League team.
