Draw a reasonable result in Ferrycarrig tonight as both sides came close to scoring but neither could get the all-important goal. Both sides had agreed to proceed with the game with Wexford having lost three players to the University Games in Taipeiand Galway two players. Then Rianna Jarrett apparently got a call at 11.30 last night to say she was needed for Taipei but that the plane was leaving Dublin at 9.30 am this (Saturday) morning so Wexford had lost four players. Wexford manager, Laura Heffernan, went with Sophie, Nicola, Jess, Lolly, Lauren, Linda, Kylie, Becky, Orla, Emma and with Edel Kennedy up front. First half was fairly even and had relatively few chances. After two early Galway corners, a good delivery from a corner by Emma Hansberry found Kylie Murphy at the back post, but her header was blocked on the Galway goal-line. On 35 minutes, a shot by Wexford’s Lauren Dwyer was pushed round the post by Tina Hughes in the Galway goal. Rachel Baynes then got a yellow for a foul on Linda Douglas just as she was going into the Galway penalty area. With a minute to go in the half,a Galway free header at the far post was misdirected wide and half finished 0-0with both defences dominating.
