Connolly stars as DIT rout Wexford

DUBLIN senior Diarmuid Connolly fired 1-7 as DIT completely outclassed a poor Wexford outfit in a lopsided O’Byrne Cup opening round tie at Enniscorthy yesterday afternoon.

Connolly, who returned to Pat Gilroy’s senior setup this week, was in excellent form and along with Mayo duo Aidan O’Shea and Alan Freeman, he dismantled the home side’s defence.

DIT raced three points clear early on, before Connolly blasted a penalty to the net for their first goal in the 9th minute.
