GAMES:
The senior league division 1 game against Milltown was played on Sunday in Milltown. Thanks to Milltown who accorded Corofin a guard of honour as All-Ireland champions when the team came onto the pitch. Milltown led at halftime by 0-04 to 0-03. However, a Dylan McHugh goal early in the 2nd half proved to be vital as Corofin went on to win by the minimum on a scoreline of 1-08 to 0-10. We wish Dylan Brady a speedy recovery from the injury received late on in the game. We want to especially thank all the Milltown club and officials for their assistance on the day.
Our next game in the league is against Moycullen on Saturday at 3.00 pm in Corofin.
