WEXFORD BOSS LIAM Dunne has adopted a youthful approach in his team selection for Sunday’s Leinster SHC quarter-final against Antrim.

Corner-back Liam Ryan, wing-forward Jack Guiney and full-forward Conor McDonald are all still eligible for the U21 grade this year.

That trio will be involved in the Wexford team playing in next Wednesday’s Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U21 quarter-final against Kilkenny.

Wexford have also included last year’s Leinster U21 winning captain Lee Chin in their senior team at right half-back in a side that is captained by full-back Matthew O’Hanlon.

There are seven survivors from the team that exited the championship in the Phase 3 qualifier last year against Clare in Mark Fanning, Keith Rossiter, Andrew Shore, Paul Morris, Podge Doran, Guiney and Rory Jacob.
