Both the weather and Corofin comprehensively outshone Glenamaddy this afternoon at the Belclare GAA ground in this Sweeney Oil League Group 3 clash. In spite of the fine weather Glenamaddy were frustrated at a much delayed start after a late change of venue, but were however able to snatch the lead early on before relinquishing almost total control to a clever Corofin side who played out the first half almost entirely in the Glenamaddy half taking the half-time whistle holding an easy 0 - 1 to 3 - 7 advantage.
Facing a seemingly insurmountable hurdle Glenamaddy took to the field for the second half, on this hottest day of the year, with a positive attitude. Although soon falling a further two points behind, a couple of tactical changes and player substitutions saw Glenamaddy begin to claw their way back.
They enjoyed a 'purple patch' scoring a goal and a further three points unanswered before Corofin again regained their composure and saw out the rest of the game with no real further threat to their dominance from a tiring Glenamaddy side.
Although the final result was never in doubt and Corofin were worthy and deserved winners how different might the result have been if the Glenamaddy side had not had such a huge first half deficit to over come? After all the second half scoreline was Corofin 1 - 4 to Glenamaddy 1 - 4 !!
A much improved second half sees Glenamaddy do themselves justice.
