Dublin’s Paddy Smyth, for instance, had to balance their opener against Kilkenny in Nowlan Park last week with exams. Wexford’s Rory O’Connor will have his six behind him by the time he meets his DCU colleague on the northside. O’Connor won’t be 21 until July but admitted that it can take him until the Wednesday after a game to be fully physically recovered. We’ve two weeks and we’ve a break and then we’ve another two weeks (this time). “I was told the measurements but I wouldn’t read into it too much,” said O’Connor.
