Corofin go in search of a first ever provincial 3 in a row this Sunday in MacHale Park (2pm) when they take on a Ballintubber outfit going in search of their first ever Connacht title. The sides last meeting came in 2014 when Corofin were far too strong at the same venue, winning by 9 points on their way to claiming the All Ireland club title the following March, while the only other Corofin-Ballintubber clash came in the 2011 semi final when the Galway champions squeezed home by 1-11 to 2-7 in a game also played in Castlebar.
Ahead of Sunday's game Corofin manager Kevin O'Brien has been telling Kevin O'Dwyer that his sides huge semi final win over Clan na nGael will have little bearing this Sunday...
