Luke Connolly, stop it.

It was a decent day for Cork's footballers. The new season is well and truly under way, they already have silverware to show for it and their nine-point dismantling of Mayo on Sunday proved that they should've been shorter odds for the league than the Connacht men were. Amidst their free-scoring 1-18 tally, Luke Connolly produced a moment of magic that would've even impressed a certain Mr Sheehan from a neighbouring county. In the 46th minute, with Cork free-wheeling to victory despite having missed a penalty just beforehand, Connolly sat a deal ball on the sideline on the turf and pinged it with his laces straight as a die between the posts. The angle, the distance, the execution. https://www.instagram.com/p/BBNUgxUlVfd/?taken-by=sportsjoedotie Meanwhile, Kildare beat Westmeath in the big clash in Division Three whilst nothing could separate Limerick and Tipperary. Roscommon fell to a Conor McManus-inspired Monaghan in the top tier but it was Derry who flexed their muscles the most, leaving Fermanagh in their wake with nine points to spare whilst Meath recorded a notable win over Armagh in a competitive-looking Division Two.
