Dublin Hurler, Liam Rushe
Rushe sparkles for dominant Dublin
By Dublin 4-11, Carlow 0-11, Leinster U-21 HC Defending champions Dublin could afford to hit 21 wides yet sail to a comfortable four-goal win over Carlow at Dr Cullen Park last evening. Daryl Roberts opened the scoring for Carlow with a point from play on two minutes as Dublin, playing with the aid of the strong wind, dominated outfield play but struck seven wides before midfielder Barry Mulligan levelled matters on 13 minutes. With the score level on 0-3 apiece on 19 minutes, a long free from full-forward Sean McGrath was not dealt with by the Carlow defence and Dublin...
U21 hurlers hit Carlow for four
DUBLIN 4-11 CARLOW 0-11 Reigning provincial champions Dublin overcame some wayward shooting before advancing to the Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U21 hurling championship semi-final after emerging victorious from Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. Powered by the central diamond where Liam Rushe, Martin Quilty and Danny Sutcliffe impressed the Dubs were dominant but failed to fully translate possession into scores, amassing 21 wides over the course of the hour. Dublin’s first goal arrived in the 20th minute when Sean McGrath’s long free was not dealt with by the Carlow defence and Rushe was on hand to take full advantage. Two...
Cruise control for U21 hurlers
DUBLIN hit 21 wides and yet ran out comfortable winners against Carlow in this Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U21 Hurling Championship clash at Dr Cullen Park last night. Indeed, no less than 14 of those wayward shots came in the opening period when the Dubs were playing with the aid of a stiff breeze – something team manager John McEvoy will no doubt want to address before their semi-final clash with Offaly in two weeks’ time. But that should not take away from the many positives in the performance of the reigning Leinster champions. Senior stars Liam Rushe and Martin...

McMorrow faces two months on sideline
Dublin under-21 and senior hurling panellist, Niall McMorrow, faces two months on the sideline after undergoing ankle surgery.The quicksilver corner-forward suffered the injury in Ballyboden St Enda’s extra-time loss to Kilkenny champions, O’Loughlin Gaels, in the AIB Leinster Club SHC final last November.

However, he has been forced to have an operation and it’s expected he will be out of competitive action until the end...
Rushe keen to focus on mental strength
Rushe keen to focus on mental strength IAN O’RIORDAN HURLING NEWS: DUBLIN HURLING takes another small step into the new season with Saturday’s Walsh Cup semi-final against Galway, and another giant leap away from last season, which ended with the shattering defeat to Antrim. Truth is 2011 couldn’t have come around any quicker. There was no doubting the qualifier defeat to Antrim last July – by a point, despite Dublin leading by six points going into the last quarter – was difficult to fathom, especially for manager Anthony Daly. Not surprisingly Daly took some time out before committing for another year,...
