Diarmuid Connolly’s first Championship start for Dublin in 26 months was marked with a win as Dublin confirmed their All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo this Saturday.

Fourteen-man Dublin extended their winning run to 25 games in the Leinster senior football championship with this facile victory in O’Moore Park.

Dublin 2-14, Offaly 0-8: Goals from Tom Fox and Stephen Smith propelled Dublin to a fourth EirGrid Leinster U21 football championship title on the trot, another record for Sky Blues supporters to savour.
