Dublin minor hurlers will enjoyed home advantage In Parnell Park for Saturday's Electric Ireland Leinster MHC semi-final against Wexford (12.30).

In the other provincial semi-final Kildare will host Kilkenny in St Conleth's Park, Newbridge on Saturday afternoon (1.0).

Kilkenny and Dublin emerged from Tier 1 in first and second place to book automatic semi-final places while Wexford defeated Laois 4-17 to 1-16 in O'Moore Park last Saturday afternoon in their quarter-final.

Kildare, who were grouped in Tier 2, finished second in their group behind Laois before defeating Down, Meath and then Offaly in last Saturday's quarter-final that went to extra-time.

Dublin finished second after the Tier 1 group phase, edging out Wexford for an automatic semi-final slot on scoring difference.

The Dubs drew their group game with Wexford, 3-14 to 2-17, in round 3 of the Tier 1 games in Bellefield, Enniscorthy on Saturday, May 11.

Dublin led 3-14 to 0-14 entering the last ten minutes but the Slaneysiders hit 2-3 without reply to earn the draw.

Dublin's senior hurlers will also be in action in Parnell Park on Saturday when they face Galway in their all-important SHC clash (7.0).
