WEXFORD HAVE ANNOUNCED an unchanged team for Saturday night’s Leinster senior hurling semi-final against Dublin.

The Model County defeated Antrim by 5-19 to 0-21 in their quarter-final tie in Portlaoise and manager Liam Dunne has kept faith with that team.

The full-forward line of Rory Jacob, Conor McDonald and Liam Óg McGovern struck 5-3 from play in that match and will carry the hopes of the Wexford support on this occasion.

There are eight survivors from the Wexford team that drew on home soil against Dublin in last June’s Leinster quarter-final. Mark Fanning, Keith Rossiter, Ciaran Kenny, Harry Kehoe, Jack Guiney, Podge Doran and Rory Jacob all started in that game. Lee Chin and Paul Morris both came on as substitutes in that match and have now progressed to the starting line-up.

Guiney, corner-back Liam Ryan and full-forward Conor McDonald all started for the county U21 side that claimed a notable win over Kilkenny in their recent Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U21 quarter-final.

There are two new additions to the Wexford substitutes list in Eoin Moore and Conor Devitt.
