GALWAY AND WEXFORD have named their teams for tomorrow’s Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21 hurling semi-final.

Galway will start with four players who started for the senior side when they exited the championship at the hands of Tipperary back in July – wing-forwards Padraic Brehony and Cathal Mannion, full-forward Jonathan Glynn and corner-forward Jason Flynn.

Galway have named a strong team overall with ten members of the side having started in the 2011 All-Ireland minor final win over Dublin – Shane Mannion, John Hanbury, Paul Killeen, Dean Higgins, Adrian Tuohy, Cormac Diviney, Brehony, Shane Maloney, Glynn and Flynn.

Midfielder Eanna Burke, a brother of senior player David, won an AIB All-Ireland senior hurling club medal last year with St Thomas.

Meanwhile, Wexford have named three players who began the county’s All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-final defeat to Limerick last month.

Full-back Liam Ryan, wing-forward Jack Guiney and corner-forward Conor McDonald all featured in a break-out campaign for Wexford at senior level and will start tomorrow.

Leinster champions two years in a row, Wexford will be hoping to atone for last year’s semi-final defeat to Antrim.

Throw-in is at 6pm tomorrow in Semple Stadium.

Conor OÕShea and Jack Guiney Jack Guiney will start at wing-forward tomorrow evening. Cathal Noonan / INPHO Cathal Noonan / INPHO / INPHO
