Dublin 1-15
Wexford 1-14
DUBLIN ARE THROUGH to the Walsh Cup final after a single-point win over Wexford this afternoon.
Anthony Daly made eight changes for the meeting in Gorey with Gary Maguire retuning in goal and Mark Schutte starting in full-forward.
It was Liam Dunne’s men who had the perfect start, however, when Gary Moore found the back of the net with Wexford’s first score after four minutes.
Ian Byrne and Paul Ryan exchanged a series of frees in the first half and at half time, the Model County held a four-point advantage — 1-11 to 0-10.
Conal Keaney got things underway with a point right after the restart and added another before Dublin took the lead through Ryan’s free, which was deflected past Mark Fanning in the Wexford goal.
Wexford drew level thanks to Morris but then went down to 14 men when Richie Kehoe picked up his second yellow card and a final Ryan free won it for Dublin.
They will meet Kilkenny in the final next Sunday.
