Substitute Eoin Ó Conghaile enjoyed a deja blue moment at Parnell Park on Saturday as Dublin secured a remarkable Leinster minor hurling final place.

Trailing by two points with as many minutes remaining, Pat Fanning’s side looked in real trouble.

But three points in a row, including two from O Conghaile, the second winning the game with virtually the last puck, dramatically secured a July 6th final spot against Kilkenny.

"It's gas," said Dublin manager Fanning. "Eoin scored two points and both of them from similar angles. He did virtually the same thing in a friendly match against Waterford a fortnight ago from the same position. He does tend to do that.

“Mind you, if the second one had gone wide I would have torn his head off. And you can quote me on that!”

It'll be 2012 winners Dublin's fourth final in five seasons. But it was tough on Wexford who haven't won a Leinster title since 1985. Wexford were 0-9 to 0-7 ahead at half-time and led for 36 of the game's last 37 minutes. Missed chances midway through the second half ultimately proved very costly.

“We were two or three points up the whole time and it looked like we were going to win it,” said Wexford manager Larry Coleman. “But our lads have been written off all over the country as ‘no hopers. Those lads haven’t a hope in Leinster’. We’re proud of where the boys are at today.”
