Wexford hurling manager is hoping that his side will have enough experience to ride out the rough patches which Dublin are sure to provide in this Sunday's Leinster championship semi-final. Anthony Daly's men have impressed thus far this season both in the league and in their thumping of Antrim in the previous round of the championship, and Bonnar knows that his team will have to up their game if they want to book a provincial final date with either Galway or Kilkenny at Croke Park. "We fully realise that we will have to raise our game even further to get the better of Dublin, but our squad has been improving all the time," said the Wexford boss. "I would like to think that we have the experience when it will come down to the crucial stages. We have tried to get the balance right, so hopefully that will come good against Dublin." The Model men are aiming to build on their win over Offaly in the quarter-finals to qualify for what would be a ninth successive Leinster SFC final appearance, and their manager knows that Dublin are as tough as any opposition they could face at this present time. "Dublin are coming from Division One hurling so not for one moment do I or the players contemplate that it will be any easier than if we had been paired with Galway or Kilkenny. "It would be easy to get it wrong, but I'm happy the lads are focused on the task ahead and the challenge that faces them. We must have a belief in ourselves and should the players bring that belief on to the pitch, then we are there with a real chance of victory." Tweet
