Connolly strikes again, Monaghan finally succumb and more

When Cork were edged out of the Championship last year after drawing with Tipperary and losing by a point to both Clare and Tipperary, there was no great mention of how they had missed Alan Connolly. Perhaps there should have been.Connolly hit four goals in three games in the 2022 Munster Championship before a combination of shoulder and hamstring injuries ruled him out last year, but he’s returned with intent of late, scoring 3-1 against Offaly and then 3-2 against Wexford last Saturday.

It may have slipped under the radar, but the Kildare-Carlow Allianz Hurling League Division 2A tie was notable for the fact that it was played in Hawkfield last Friday night. It’s a shame, as weeknight fixtures obviously work well at club level and even at county level too with pre-season competitions and underage games, as well as in the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cups.
