[Cunny Funt]

Pearses impressive good value for their 1-8 to 0-3 half time lead. Will be surprise if Corofin don't have a purple patch 2nd half.

Favourites for the All Ireland my hole ..

[Brendan]

Pitch that rough looking was worried he wouldn't finish that goal the way it was bobbling in

[Cunny Funt]

Corofin had their purple patch but not enough as Pearses seal the win with a late goal when Power had gone walk about. 2-10 to 0-10.

Near perfect first half from Pearses. Some excellent scores. Their style of football has improved a lot under Frank Canning, much more direct now. Corofin over elaborated in second half till Molloy showed them how to do it and they did well to pull within 3. Pearses still have a lot to improve on, thought they could have killed it off earlier and butchered a few good chances in second half.

[Blowitupref]

Pearses win today was similar to the margin and manner Brigids beat Corofin last year.  Be interesting to see can Pearses go as far as Brigids, good balance to their team with nice blend of youth and experience.

Great win by  PP but they let it become too exciting in the closing stages.
Still job done.
The Laythrum bucks will give them plenty of it next weekend but they should prevail.

Disagree here, was a top job by Pearses. Battered a surprising shite Corofin team with no forwards. Mind boggling how they won Galway.
With pearses playing style they were never going to lose that. And I never doubted them. Only doubt was it was to easy for them they didn't expect such ease. Will take beaten

You can celebrate a win without being completely disrespectful to the other team.

Not a good look for Galway club football though, particularly as Corofin were practically at home. Corofin have seldom had standout forwards, relying on the collective teamwork to amass the scores. It's time other clubs in Galway had a good look at themselves and ask what are the doing that they can't make a realistic attempt at a county title challenge. (Looking at you Salthill in particular).

The media had habit of taking up Corofin forward play while ignoring their strength which was defensively and that was especially seen in all of their All Ireland titles won.

Defensive stats for Corofin was good in Galway but yesterday Pearses caused them all types of problems in the 1st half with their direct play and the gap of eight points proved too big to close. 

I talked about Salthill-Knocknacarra on the first page of this thread. Should be doing a lot better with county seniors Cathal Sweeney, Daniel O'Flaherty,John Maher,Tomo Culhane and arguably their best county U20 player this year Matthew Thompson on their starting team. Need to get experienced manager with recent success involved there.

Have Moycullen not won Galway recently enough?

Have Moycullen not won Galway recently enough?

Yes, and in fairness they and Mountbellew/Moylough have been to the fore the past number of seasons. Mountbellew were a good bit off it this season though and Moycullen were rather untypically poor in the county final. The likes of Tuam Stars, Salthill, Annaghdown, Claregalway (lot of underage success) need to be doing better, given their resources.
