Hopefully Castlebar can make it a Mayo treble this weekend. It would also remove any obstacle for appointing Rochford as Mayo manager, wouldn't it?

After what happened two years ago I can't see Castlebar beating Corofin. Revenge is the best cure for an AI hangover.

After watching Castlebar 2 weeks ago on tv, I'd be inclined to agree with you.

What are corofin like this year though ? Mountbellew - moylough seem to waste a lot of chances according to the stats for that game  (dontfoul stats) ,shots from play -success rate really stood out , 62 % Corofin , 25 % mountbellew . Hopefully castlebar can guard the net and I think it will be a lot closer than a lot think if they do . 11/4 , I'll be havin some of that for the extra interest.

Corofin are one of those teams that do enough to get through games as they did throughout the Galway championship, indeed they were very lucky not to be caught out by Tuam in the quarter finals where they were taken to a replay. However they seem to be on an upward curve since they got outside the county, Michéal Lundy, Ian Burke and Martin Farragher are in flying form at the minute. Stephen Rochford seems to have them peaking at just the right time. I think they'll have enough to get past Castlebar but after that they could find things very difficult especially if the rumours about Lundy heading for America are true.

We have some game on here. As good a 10 minutes of sport as I've seen in a long time.

Castlebar Mitchells 1-2 Corofin 0-2

[moysider]

Pitch looks a right state.

[Zulu]

Pitch is awful alright.

Pitch looks a right state.

Yeah, looks to have lines of long grass where the wheels on the mower went over!

[Syferus]

Mitchels look laboured attacking. Not as confident taking points as they should be and getting caught look if around for passes around the 45. Will probably need a few more goals to beat Corofin who look significantly slicker going forward.

[From the Bunker]

Corofin, will be the happier at half time. Have not played well and are not losing.

[Blowitupref]

Good half of football between two well matched sides I think the pitch on TV looks worse than it actually is.  Martin Farragher,Barry Moran the stand out players for their sides in that half.

[Lar Naparka]

Corofin are looking the better side at halftime but the pitch is pure cat  and a freak bounce or two could well determine the outcome. It's all to play for still.

[Zulu]

Really enjoyed that, great half of football with both teams really going for it and the ref doing a good job. If the pitch wasn't heavy I think we would have had 5 or 6 more scores.

Looked to me like Castlebar dominant and Corofin set up to counter attack. Castlebar forwards less space than the Corofin ones.
Set up for Corofin unfortunately.
