New York will prepare for what they hope will be a first ever win in the Connacht senior football championship next month by taking on All-Ireland club champions Corofin in a challenge match in the Big Apple next week. New York have gone close to shocking Galway and Roscommon in recent years in the championship and have invited the recently-crowned All-Ireland club champions to come to New York later this month to play a warm-up game. The Galway club, who recently won their third All-Ireland club title, will use the trip as a fundraising event and also to celebrate their recent national crown and their success of 2015. “We will be bringing the players from 2015 as well,” said Corofin club chairman Michael Ryder. “We are all looking forward to it and hope to give New York a good game.
