Two Corinthians teams go in search of provincial silverware this Sunday (28th April 2024) when they take on their Sligo counterparts in Connacht Finals.
The under-15 Corinthians Blacks have been successful coming through the underage ranks and they'll take on Sligo at 1.30pm.
Then the under-17s meet for the first time since Corinthians won 51-0 in the league semi-final in January. That was an unusual result between the teams, as Sligo did edge Corinthians at under-16 level.
Following a league final defeat, Corinthians overcame Loughrea and Castlebar before avening their league final loss to Buccaneers (22-11) in the semi-final. Sligo have also three wins from three since the league.
Leading up to the game, Corinthians under-17 manager Rob Dolan chatted to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.

Galway's Andreeas 'Judoka' Binder made his long awaited MMA return last Sunday (21st April 2024) when he made local favourite Victor Kuku submit at the 'Levels Fight League' event in Amsterday.
It was Binder's first fight at welterweight after failing to make the lightweight class for his last two contests. This was his first outing since winning the LFL title belt in that class last July.
After taking time to size up his opponent, the 27-year-old finally got on top of proceedings and made Kuku tap out to a 'Rare Naked Choke' in the third round.
'Judoka's record is now 9-2 (wins-losses) and he is on a four fight winning streak.
Andreeas Binder caught up again with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to reflect on how important the weekend was and what comes next.

Andreeas Binder's encounter with Victor Kuku comes up around the 2:17:00 mark.
