Of course, Corofin followed this up with a 3-2 away victory over Moyne Villa in the semi-finals and would have been the fancied team going into the decider.
No doubt, the winners had long forgotten their opening game in the competition when they had just a Jonathan Keane goal to show for their efforts in a 1-1 draw after extra time with lowly Renmore B, but aided by the saves of Dylan Canney, they advanced by 3-2 in a penalty shoot out. However, in front of a sizeable crowd, Corofin had more of a cutting edge as they made the most of the opportunities that came their way. One up at the break as Dylan Wall got their opener, Corofin’s second just four minutes after the restart was the turning point as Barry O’Donovan applied the finish before two subsequent goals killed off the contest as it put a meaner look on proceedings that the Connemara side deserved.
BASED on statistical evidence this Joe Ryan Cup final produced a comprehensive victory for Corofin United, but at Eamonn Deacy Park on Wednesday night, the evidence on the pitch was less clear cut as Cois Fharraige certainly gave as good as they got in a entertaining contest that brought the local soccer season to a finale.
