Senior football championship quarterfinals this weekend

By Jim Carney

THE EIGHT teams remaining in the Galway Senior Football Championship are all in action this weekend when two venues host the quarter-finals: Corofin on Saturday (one game) and Tuam Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.
In the first of the quarter-finals, Barna will play Caherlistrane at Dr Duggan Park, Corofin at 3.15 followed by the Intermediate Football Championship replay, Monivea-Abbey vs Spiddal, at 5.00 o’clock.
Tuam Stadium has a big double-bill on Saturday: Annaghdown vs St Michael’s at 4.15, followed by Milltown vs Salthill-Knocknacarra at 6.00 o’clock.
That leaves one SFC quarter-final to be played on Sunday: Corofin, the Frank Fox Cup champions, vs Mountbellew-Moylough at Tuam Stadium, at 1.45 p.m., after the senior relegation series clash between Kilkerrin-Clonberne and Killererin at 12.00 noon.
Corofin are in form ahead of playing the club they defeated, in a replay, in the 2009 County final, Mountbellew-Moylough.
