Connolly teed up to join Boston cream

As Dublin star Diarmuid Connolly looks set to head out to the US for the summer in the coming days, the allure of Gaelic football in Boston is proving extremely attractive, with a host of inter-county and elite club talent basing themselves there this summer.

Donegal Boston will have two All-Ireland senior club-winning defenders after Dylan Wall was confirmed yesterday as having joined his Corofin team-mate Liam Silke in the Massachusetts city.

They will be joined by Crossmaglen Rangers and Armagh midfielder Oisín O’Neill, a 2017 Sigerson Cup winner with St Mary’s College. Micheál Carroll, on the Donegal panel earlier this year, will also line up.
