Corofin have produced some absolutely stunning football in their time, but these two goals are up there with the best of them. They entered the game against Dr Crokes today hoping to secure their second All-Ireland title on the trot, and lit the game up inside the opening 10 minutes.
Wing back Kieran Molloy showed some wonderful quick thinking to lay the ball into the path of the oncoming Jason Leonard, who made no mistake in finishing off the move.

They would grab another stunning goal in the opening half, with Gary Sice providing the finishing touch on what was a wonderfully worked team move.

It was an irresistible 30 minutes of football from the Galway outfit, and the watching public just couldn't get enough of Corofin in that opening half:
Corofin are something else, exceptional at the basics and incredible movement. Make the game look as simple as it should be.

Corofin are an absolute joy to watch, I don’t care if it’s one sided, I’ll watch them attack all day long!

Holy cr*p. In six years I doubt I've seen a shot map like that. 15 shots with the furthest out being approx 23metres.
Talk about going for the jugular #Corofin pic.twitter.com/jWvKWPmfVa— dontfoul (@dontfoul) March 17, 2019
Corofin are magic. What a first half. And all walking in at half time. None of this sprinting in to the dressing room shite. Composed. Clear on purpose. Class.

Corofin would ultimately run out comfortable winners on a scoreline of 2-16 to 1-10, with the game over as a contest at the interval. This was their third All-Ireland crown in five years.
While they were already established as one of the greatest club teams of all time before today, this display of incredible attacking football serves a timely reminder of the quality they possess.
