Wexford cruise to 27-point victory, Dublin make it three wins from three

Darragh Egan’s outfit hit 6-21 past Laois to secure their first win of the Leinster championship.

WEXFORD SECURED THEIR first victory of the Leinster championship with a 27-point hammering of Laois in Portlaoise. It finished 6-21 to 0-12.  

Darragh Egan’s outfit rattled home five second-half goals while Laois could only muster three points from play. Mark Fanning scored two penalties while Rory O’Connor, Conor McDonald and Diarmuid O’Keeffe all scored goals. 

A tough task became even harder for the home side when Fiachra Fennell was sent off midway through the second half. Wexford led by 11 at the time but went on to enjoy a rampant final stretch. Overall they only hit seven wides in total and hit 4-15 from play.

Elsewhere, Dublin made it three wins from three with a 0-27 to 1-16 victory over Westmeath. Na Fianna’s Donal Burke hit 0-11, including seven placed balls. Niall O’Brien scored the only goal of the game for Joe Fortune’s side. 

Next up is a blockbuster as Mattie Kenny’s outfit welcome Kilkenny to Parnell Park in two weeks’ time.

    Bolt is like the only guy out of the top 20 fastest times ever to never get caught doping. He’s not a unique snowflake. He’s doped to the gills just as much as Gatlin or anyone else. It’d be naive to think otherwise. Athletics is as corrupt as Cycling.

    Lance Armstrong was “one of the most tested athletes ever”. He never ” officially” tested positive. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t using PEDs.

    The horrible question around Bolt is his junior record. If he is doping now, when did he start? Very sinister

    I subscribe to Tommy Tiernans vision….let them take whatever drugs they want. Who doesn’t want to see a man run 100 metres in 4 seconds??

    Ah who cares – the lines are so blurred these days it’s hard to know the difference between just about clean & doping. I’m presuming the ” clean ” athletes are the ones on right side of legal – just. The man is box office – let’s hope and pray for this legend ..
