Just under one week out until the u-21 Leinster semi-final, Wexford have found out their opponents…
After Dublin’s three-point win over Westmeath in Mullingar, Wexford will now face the Dubs in the semi-final in Parnell Park on Wednesday, June 20th, a tie that which will be shown live on TG4.
Some of the Dubs’ most notable players include current Senior stars Donal Burke and Fergal Whiteley, while Eoghan Conroy and centre-back Conor Burke are also worth keeping a watchful eye on in next week’s clash against the Yellowbellies.
Meanwhile, in the other semi-final, Galway will face reigning u-21 Leinster Champions Kilkenny.
Fergal Whitely also back after missing last weekend's senior game against Galway. C O'Sullivan, Paul Crummey, Ronan Hayes & Paddy Smyth all senior players too. Crazy strength in that team.

Serious opportunity for Dublin hurling this year to capitalise on the talent in the county. A big underage success would be a platform for Gilroy & Cunningham's senior side. Tough night in Mullingar tonight but should get over the line.
