CHAMPIONS Corofin laid down a firm marker at the weekend that they are driven in their quest to become the first Galway club in 50 years to complete three county senior football titles in a row.

The champions signalled their intent for the coming year when they demolished Cortoon Shamrocks by 2-9 to 0-3 in the opening round on Saturday evening in Tuam Stadium.

Goals from Padraig Hanly and Justin Burke sealed an easy victory for Corofin as the champions limited Cortoon Shamrocks to a solitary point from Derek Gilmore in the entire second half.

But the shock of the opening round came when Caltra, forced to field without injured Galway captain Michael Meehan, were sensationally defeated by Barna, who are managed by former Mayo star Pat Fallon.

Caltra, who will now have to go through the back door system, led by 0-8 to 0-2 at half time with the strong breeze behind them, but Barna powered back and held their illustrious opponents scoreless in the second period.

Salthill/Knocknacarra edged out Claregalway as a Conor O'Holloran first-half goal set his side up for victory. Sean Armstrong returned from a hamstring injury for the seasiders and was in fine form as his side held on for a 1-7 to 0-7 win.

Galway city side St Michael's were well in touch in the opening half when they trailed Moycullen by just a point at half time. Mark and Phillip Lydon were on scoring form for Moycullen who stepped up a gear in the second half and raced into a five-point lead before the city side scored after the restart.

Then Moycullen struck for a goal to seal the game and the game was in injury time before St Michael's scored a late goal. Moycullen won 1-9 to 1-4.

Killanin came with three late points from twins Patrick Sweeney and Cathal Sweeney to snatch a dramatic win against An Ceathru Rua after extra time. A Cillian De Paor goal looked to have set up An Ceathru Rua for victory but scores from the Sweeney brothers and Stephen Kavanagh sent Killanin through on a scoreline of 0-14 to 1-10.

A goal from Rory Gaffney proved key as 14-man Tuam Stars defeated Annaghdown 1-10 to 0-12 in Tuam Stadium yesterday. Gaffney followed his four points from play in the first half with the key goal 10 minutes from time and a late Shane Curtin point sealed the win.

Last year's runners-up Mountbellew/Moylough moved into the next round after a 0-10 to 0-7 win over Killererin. The accuracy of Cathal Kenny proved key as the north Galway side moved into the second round, where they will join Leitir Mor who defeated Caherlistrane by 0-11 to 0-8, and Milltown who claimed a 2-10 to 0-7 win over Michael Breathnachs

PORTUMNA'S quest for a fourth Galway senior hurling championship in a row stepped up another gear with a 2-13 to 0-13 win over Beagh in Loughrea.

Joe Canning once again led the way with a haul of 2-6 – he got a goal in each half – as the champions secured their second win in Group D of the competition and end the stern Beagh challenge.

Elsewhere in Group D of the championship, Killimordaly pulled off the surprise of the weekend when they managed to defeat hot-favourites Kinvara by 1-9 to 0-11 in Athenry. A John McDonagh goal before the break was crucial as the victors secured their first win of the season, while 0-6 from Niall Earls also helped their cause.

In Group A last year's runners-up Loughrea suffered their first defeat of the competition as Kiltormer inflicted a 3-11 to 1-15 defeat on one of the favourites to end Portumna's reign.

Two goals from Brendan Kenny and another from Conor Ryan proved the difference between the sides, while points from Keith Kilkenny gave Kiltormer their first win of the championship.

Gort moved top of Group B after claiming a 1-16 to 1-10 victory over Tommy Larkins in Athenry on Saturday. Six points from Galway newcomer Aidan Harte, five more from Gerry Quinn and a Paul Killilea goal midway through second half gave Gort their second win of the year.

In the other Group B clash a David Burke goal in the second half was critical for St Thomas as they managed to fend off a late rally from Tynagh/Abbey-Duniry to secure a 1-14 to 0-12 win, their first of the competition.

Sarsfields continued to impress in Group A as they took their second win from Craughwell on a 0-14 to 0-10 scoreline. A late rush from Craughwell, led by Niall Healy looked likely to have forced a draw, but Kerril Wade's sharp-shooting pulled Sarsfields clear to claim the two points.

Mullagh added to last week's draw with Liam Mellows with a convincing 1-17 to 1-8 win over Castlegar in Loughrea. Twelve points from Niall Cahalan and a goal from Cathal Dervan from a free mean Mullagh remain unbeaten. A late Brian Connolly goal was mere consolation for Cashel as 1-6 without reply from last year's semi-finalists moved them top of the group.

QuoteResult : Claregalway 1-7 Cortoon Shamrocks 1-3
Match : Claregawlway Hotel Senior Football Championship Qualifier Round
Date : Sunday, 30th May 2010
Venue : Tuam Stadium
Two championship wins made it a good week-end for results. In a low scoring game, Seniors overcame the challenge of Cortoon Shamrocks in the County championship qualifiers by 1-7 to 1-3 at Tuam Stadium on Sunday. Claregalway recovered well from an early Cortoon goal and point when Martin Kelly burst through for a fine goal in the fifth minute from a good pass by James Nallen. Stephen Cunniffe then made a run up the right wing and sent over a soaring point from way out, followed by points from Danny Cummins who collected from Paul McGuinness, a free from Martin Kelly and another point from Danny Cummins to leave Claregalway in front at the break by 1-4 to 1-1. The lead could have been greater as there were a couple of chances for goals.


After the resumption Claregalway were quickly into their stride with points by Martin Kelly and then Danny Cummins whose  fly-kick at a breaking ball sailed over the bar. Cortoon did'nt score until 10 minutes into the half, a point followed by a converted free, to leave it 1-6 to 1-3 at the three-quarter stage.  Stalemate then followed and scores were hard to come by until Danny Cummins work rate completed Claregalway's tally with a point from a difficult angle on the right. Joe Kearney did well on his championship debut. David Heaney featured at centre-half back and made a number of vital interventions when Cortoon looked like scoring. Barry Cullinane and James Nallen controlled the centre, Anthony Watson manned the full back position well and Brian O'Donoghue was as secure as ever in goal.
Team: B. O'Donoghue, J. Garrett, A. Watson,  B. O'Loughlin, J. Kearney, D. Heaney, S. Cunniffe (capt), B. Cullinane, J. Nallen, R. O'Flynn, P. McGuinness, A. Faherty, M. Kelly, C. Glynn, D. Cummins. Subs. used: F. McEvoy, E. O'Connell.
