Rushe in a hurry for success

SATURDAY’S emphatic All-Ireland qualifier success overClare has generated plenty of optimism in Dublin hurling circles, and Liam Rushe wants to that feelgood sensation to continue.

Tomorrow night in Parnell Park, Dublin bid to defeat Wexford and claim the Leinster U21HC title, and Rushe is hoping to make it a memorable week for fans of the small ball code in the capital.

He said: “Saturday was our first qualifier win and when you think about it, three years ago we seemed to be going nowhere. Now we are finally starting to play consistently in the championship. We are beating Clare and we beat Wexford before. It comes down to experience. A few years ago only a few lads had experienced a senior victory. You get used to it and know what it takes.”
