Our under 16s defeated Dunmore MacHales in their final Division 1 North group game played last week in Dunmore. Well done to everyone who played. This was another classy performance on a perfect summer's evening for football.

The Raftery Cup continues this Wednesday evening with the second round of games in Belclare at 6.15. The final round of games will be played on Wednesday, 17 May. The Raftery Cup finals are scheduled for Corofin on Thursday 25 May.
Once again we want to sincerely thank all who supported the Jack McHugh 7 a-side Minor Football Memorial Tournament, which was held in Belclare on Bank Holiday Monday. Thanks to the Clubs who participated, namely, Kilkerrin/Clonberne, Tuam Stars, Monivea/Abbey, Annaghdown, Milltown, Kilconly, Caherlistrane, Cortoon Shamrocks, Mountbellew/Moylough, Killererin, Corofin A and Corofin B. The Corofin B team won the tournament defeating Mountbellew / Moylough in the semifinal and Milltown in the final. Declan McHugh presented the Jack McHugh Memorial Cup to Corofin B team after a super day's football. The tournament proved to be a tremendous success. Great credit is due to the organisers, the players, the management from the different clubs, the sponsors and especially the young students from St. Jarlath’s College.
VOLUNTEERES NEEDED:-
The Connacht Sheep Shearing Festival takes place over the weekend of 19 to 21 May.

If you are available to volunteer, particularly on Sunday 21, May, contact John Raftery at 087 2585843.
The Club offers its sympathy to Eamonn Kitt and the Kitt family on the death of Eamonn’s uncle, Fr Liam Kitt.
We also sympathise with Tom Hynes, Sylane whose brother Dick died in Boston. Dick played midfield with the Corofin team which won the North Galway County Final in 1959. This was the first trophy won by the Club since the County title of 1946 .
May they Rest in Peace.
LADIES FOOTBALL:
Congratulations to our Club members Leanne Coen, Amy O’Donovan, Chloe Langan, Amy Coen and Orla Canney and not forgetting team manager Brian O’Donovan for their part in Galway winning the Connacht Minor title, following a 5-12 to 1-4 victory over Roscommon. Their next game will be an All Ireland semi-final.
Well done to our U16 team on their Championship Div1A Shield Final win over Dunmore. Final score was 3-13 to 1-14, following an epic second half comeback after a dodgy first half.
