Rebels miss out on semi-finals but are beginning to find rhythm ahead of Munster Championship.
ALAN CONNOLLY HAD Cork fans buzzing at Chadwicks Wexford Park after posting another hat-trick in the Rebels’ closing Division 1A hurling league victory over Wexford.
Wexford are out that same day against Dublin in Leinster, and manager Keith Rossiter and company will use this eye-opening defeat to fine-tune matters further as a seven match unbeaten run comes to an end. But Cork were easing through the gears, and they twice went close to netting further dividends, with Connolly’s angled drive flying wide off the woodwork, before Shane Barrett forced a save from ‘keeper Fanning.
Wexford made a couple of alterations on the restart – Mikie Dwyer and veteran Liam Óg McGovern being introduced – yet Cork continued to generate considerable threat. Wexford had their chances – shooting 13 of the 19 wides – but Cork continued to wreak havoc, with Declan Dalton seeing his kicked goal effort strike an upright, while Fanning again denied Connolly.
