De La Salle in a canter

Reigning champions De La Salle blitzed An Rinn 4-17 to 0-11 in the Waterford SHC on Saturday, with Jake Dillon rattling home 3-6, as Derek McGrath’s men secured their second win of the Group 1 campaign.

De La Salle coasted to a 2-9 to 0-4 lead at half-time despite playing into a stiff breeze at Fraher Field. The sides were level at 0-3 apiece after a tight opening quarter but Salle routed their opponents thereafter. Dillon sent a low drive to the net on 19 minutes and Dean Twomey added another green flag on the stroke of half time.

With the wind behind them they showed no mercy. Dillon struck his second from a 21m free on 43 minutes and completed his hat-trick a minute later on his way to accumulating a whopping 4-14 after two championship outings.
