Scoil Mhuire, Corofin 7-3 – Scoil na Mainistreach, Quin 2-1 at Cusack Park, Ennis
A NINE GOAL thriller to end Wednesday’s action packed schedule with Corofin coming off best in the break down of green flags. Essentially it was the partnership of Louise Browne and Corina McMahon that earned victory for Scoil Mhuire when hitting 5-3 between them and Scoil na Mainistreach simply had no answer for such firepower.
With the wind behind them, Corofin built up a 3-3 to 0-0 half-time lead, with Browne scoring 2-1 of that total while having an equal amount saved by Quin goalkeeper Aoife Deane.
Quin came out fighting on the restart and had pulled back two goals within the opening three minutes through substitute Emily Duggan and the impressive Eve Ryan. Indeed, Ryan would have another shot saved before Corofin would regain control.
Louise Browne scored her side’s fourth goal in the 29th minute and in the next passage of play set up Shan non Walsh for the fifth, and as Quin dropped their heads, there was further goals for McMahon and Browne to cement a memorable victory.
