IT'S BURKE OF FATE FOR DUBS

LEINSTER SHC Dublin 0-24 Wexford 0-22

- BRENDAN FURLONG

DONAL BURKE inspired Dublin to a thrilling two point victory over Wexford in this Leinster Round Robin Senior Hurling Championship Round 2 game played at Chadwicks Wexford Park yesterday.

The exciting attacker finished the game with a total of 0-12 - with 0-4 from play - but it his ability to pick off points from a variety of angles through crucial stages of this tense seventy minutes that proved inspirational to his side.

Dublin proved once again that they can mix it with the best with the returning Riain McBride and Aidan Mellett to the attack, having missed the Laois victory, proving a huge boost as both players struck over two excellent points apiece as the side played their way through the game.
