Sometimes you just can't miss.

Or so we're told. Former Galway minor star Dessie Conneely was on such a hot streak in Saturday's Corn na Mac Léinn Cup final that, before half-time had even arrived, a point attempt dropped into the top corner for his FOURTH goal. By that stage the Marino IE corner-forward had already struck for a 4-minute and 40-second hat-trick that must rank up there among the fastest three-goal salvos in Gaelic football history. The teenager finished the game with 4-2 as the Dublin college beat Magee College in Belfast.   "They just started to come, one after another. I was just delighted with them", says Conneely, who was on the Galway team that won last year's Connacht minor championship. Definitely one to keep an eye on in the future https://youtu.be/F26IoRmnNdY Footage by Jerome Quinn.
