Spot Murphy had a good chance in the first minute of the second half as he headed over from close in after good work by Eric Molloy. However, it was Derry who dominated thereafter with Conor McCormack pulling the strings in midfield for Derry. Graham had three good saves to make in the fifth, twelfth and thirteen minutes to keep the score at 1-1. With 25 minutes gone in the second period, Derry went ahead when a free kick hit the post, the rebound was saved by Graham Doyle but the second rebound then fell to Schubert who finished easily for 2-1 to Derry. With 15 minutes to go, Eric Molloy had a volley over the bar when well-placed. The insurance third goal went to Derry on 85 minutes when McNamee capitalised on an error in the Wexford defence to fire home low into the right-hand corner. Late subs for Wexford were Andy Mulligan and Peter Higgins and yellow cards were shown late on to Gary Delaney and Roxy Keenan for the Youths. 3-1 to Derry at full-time.
