WEXFORD HAVE UNVEILED the side that will aim to end the county’s 50-year U21 hurling drought next Saturday night.

Manager JJ Doyle has named an unchanged side for their Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21 final clash with Limerick in Semple Stadium.

To date this summer Wexford have overcome Kildare, Offaly, Kilkenny and Antrim to reach this juncture.

They can call on ten of the team that lost last year’s All-Ireland U21 decider against Clare in Oliver O’Leary, Liam Ryan, Eoin Conroy, Jim White, Padraig Foley, Jack O’Connor, Conor Devitt, Andrew Kenny, Kevin Foley and Conor McDonald.
