 Leinster MHC Semi-finals/Dublin  1-13 Wexford  0-6:A wonderful seven-point contribution by centre forward David Treacy was the highlight of a clinical victory for Dublin on Saturday at Dr Cullen Park.

The Cuala sharpshooter was in brilliant form, scoring six times from play.

Treacy's brilliance only served to highlight the paucity of the Wexford attack which relied on Lee Murphy's free-taking for scores.

Darren Whelan's converted penalty helped Dublin into a 1-6 to 0-5 interval lead. They extended it after the break with Treacy and Niall McMurrow adding five points between them.
