Youths then didn't press home their goal advantage, however, and on 33 minutes, the Blues won a penalty when the excellent Cory Galvin ran at pace into the Youth's box where he went over and the ref. awarded the spot-kick. Didn't seem to be much contact but I was a good bit away. Galvin slotted the peno low to Graham's left to bring the score to 1-1. Youths were conceding more possession than they would have liked at this stage and both Eric and Craig picked up yellows for tackles as they tried to prevent the Blues bringing the ball into the final third. 1-1 at half-time. The Blues had an early chance in the second period as, following a good passing movement, the ball was whipped to the far post where O'Connor for Waterford headed wide when he might have done better. On seven minutes, the Youths won a free just outside the Waterford box for a push on Eric Molloy with a yellow for Ethan Boyle. Danny then whipped the resulting free over the wall and low into the corner to beat Connor to put the Youths ahead at 2-1. The Youths again seemed to fall out of the game and, after ten minutes, Graham had to come out to dive at the feet of Cory Galvin to deny a goal-scoring opportunity. Then, two minutes later, a Waterford shot was deflected into the path of Pender for the Blues, who lifted it over Graham to bring the score back to 2-2.
