JJ Doyle says the Wexford U21 hurlers are aiming higher than a Leinster title.

The Model County captured their third successive provincial crown with a stunning victory over Kilkenny last night and are now turning their focus to the All-Ireland series.

"We had a goal this year and it hasn't been achieved yet," their manager told RTE. "A lot of the lads who lost to Antrim two years ago are still in or around the squad. Ten of them from last year are back, and ten of them are underage next year again, so every year there's new lads coming in and adding to it.

"We don't know who we are playing in the semi-final. I didn't even look at it yet. I don't even know when it's on yet! I presume the end of August like it normally is.

"We'll really enjoy the next few days and we'll push on then. We have a long wait though until an All-Ireland semi-final, and if it was a bit closer it might be better, but we'll enjoy it until then."
