Lee Chin believes Wexford are in a good place heading into the Leinster SHC.

The Wexford captain has recovered from the hamstring injury which forced him to miss the last two rounds of the Allianz League against Waterford and Cork ahead of Sunday’s Championship opener against Dublin. He has also regained his appetite for the game which he credits to the new management and an infusion of young blood in the squad.

"Management are doing really well and have made the whole set-up really enjoyable," he told RTÉ.

"Keith (Rossiter) was good with me, he was patient. He didn't force me in immediately. We both took our time. There was a date everyone was to be back and I was back on that date.

"When you get the young lads in to your panel and they start performing, it's a real rejuvenation of energy that they bring. They bring a different perspective and attitude and when they can blend their boldness with hurling it’s very exciting. You’re always there to try and bring them on and then in strange ways they bring you on.

"We’re delighted with what we’ve got throughout the last number of months in terms of the youth that’s there."
