AIB Connacht Club SFC Quarter-Final Pádraig Pearses 2-10 Corofin 0-10 Kevin Egan reports from Tuam Stadium
The first half was little short of breathtaking, as the South Roscommon side produced utterly devastating football both in attack and in defence. The second half was all about game management, and even when Corofin rattled off four points in-a-row in the closing stages, it still felt as if Pearses were just making sure that they maintained the philosophy of “bend, but don’t break”.
Advertisement Jack Tumulty’s driving run set up an Eoin Colleran free to get Pearses off the mark, Niall Daly landed a trademark boomer from 50 metres out to level the game, and the South Rossies were just getting started. Tumulty collected an ‘out ball’ from the defence and gobbled up the ground before playing in Paul Carey.
Desperation crept into the Galway side as the lead was still seven points going into the closing minutes, when they finally gathered a head of steam. David Murray was unlucky to be pinged for bumping Jack McCabe and Dylan Canny pointed the free, and that was followed by a run of excellent scores from Kieran Molloy, Canny and Liam Silke.
Scorers for Corofin: Dylan Canney 0-4 , Kieran Molloy 0-2, Darragh Silke 0-1, Jack McCabe 0-1m, Micheál Lundy 0-1, Liam Silke 0-1.
