Corofin 2-14 – Feakle 1-15 at Newmarket

COROFIN produced a strong second half comeback to edge past Feakle in this crucial group encounter in Newmarket.

Having led by a solitary point at half time, Feakle hit 1-1 after the break to power five points clear.

However Corofin doggedly stuck to their task, reeling in their opponents before seizing the lead going down the home straight.

The result means Corofin and Éire Óg will advance to the knockout stages while Feakle, having lost to the townies the last day out, exit the championship.

The east Clare side were buoyed by strong performance from Padraig Hogan and Henry Hayes while Gerard Hanrahan was among their key scoring contributors. However it wasn’t enough to deny Corofin who recorded their fourth win.
