What a year it has been for the Galway outfit.
Over the weekend, Corofin collected their fourth Londis All-Ireland sevens title, to go alongside the All-Ireland club championship they claimed back in March.
The Kilmacud Crokes sevens has been running for over 40 years now, and is a great social event where clubs from all over the country gather on the eve of the All-Ireland final to battle it out for the ‘third’ All-Ireland senior trophy.
This years event took place earlier than usual due to the inter-county championship restructures, but that didn’t hamper the mood in Stillorgan.
The final of the competition came down to a shootout between two of the most notorious heavy hitters in sevens football.
All-Ireland champions Corofin bounced back after losing their opening match to set up a final meeting with seven-time winners St. Galls.
Corofin led by 2-4 to 1-5 at half time through goals from Kieran Molloy and captain Jason Leonard, with Michael Pollock netting for the Antrim outfit.
Both sides broke even at the beginning of the second half before the Galway kingpins struck 2-2 without reply en route to a 10 point victory.
Corofin now hold the All-Ireland club title and Londis sevens trophy concurrently. Some achievement that!
Their seven’s line up must be one of the greatest club sevens team’s ever.
Corofin: B Power, D McHugh, C Brady, K Molloy, J Leonard, M Farragher, D Wall. Subs R Mahon, D Silke, D Canney.
St Gall’s: E McCabe, S O’Hagan, C Brady, M Kelly, J McCaffrey, K Niblock, C Stinton. Subs: T O’Neill, C Burke, M Pollock.
