Corofin 2-19 Nemo Rangers 0-10Corofin forward Gary Sice believes the Galway and Connacht champions have finally proven themselves against one of the big guns on the national stage, after their dismissal of Nemo Rangers in the All-Ireland club final at Croke Park on Saturday. Nemo Rangers had won seven of their 11 previous All-Ireland finals on St Patrick’s Day, but they were no match for a much slicker Corofin unit. Corofin have won eight Connacht titles but they were up against a Nemo side with twice that in Munster. NEMO RANGERS: M A Martin; A Cronin, A O’Reilly, K O’Donovan; T Ó Sé, S Cronin, K Fulignati; A O’Donovan, J Horgan; B O’Driscoll, P Kerrigan (0-1), C O’Brien; P Gumley (0-1), L Connolly (0-6, 0-3f), C Dalton. Subs: C Hogan for Ó Sé (38 mins), J O’Donovan (0-1) for J Horgan (38), M Dorgan for Gumley (38), C Kiely for Dalton (48), C O’Shea (0-1) for Fulignati (53).
