Who's not in Bunratty to get updates?

[DRDoc]

cool looking forward to that - more to come hopefully?

[pineapple stu]

Yeah, should be four or five against First Division opposition. Usual stuff.

Wexford Youths FC will face UCD in a pre-season friendly at Ferrycarrig Park on Saturday, 9th February, at 2pm. This is the second pre-season friendly confirmed by the club, who will also face Shamrock Rovers at home on Friday, 29th February, at 8pm.

Pete Mahon's Premier Division side will travel to Wexford for this first time, but the sides did meet last season in a pre-season friendly at Belfield Park and the Students should again provide a stern test for Wexford manager Mick Wallace's young First Division side.

Currently budgeting but not yet 100% certain to attend both friendlies.

I have four spaces filled for the Longford game - I might be totally full for Wexford - anybody need lift let me know.

[pineapple stu]

Hope to be going to Wexford, so can give lifts down and straight back for the cital Ennis league match that evening!

There's a few more home friendlies to be announced in the next few days.

Wexford say it's on Saturday...

One of their fans on the eL forum confirmed the change to Sunday for it.

[oldyouth]

Sorry, it's a bit late to be posting a reply now but the game is deffo Sunday at 2pm. There is a bit of ongoing communication problems with the official club website and the supporters club website. Anyone coming down is more than welcome and I can post directions if needed

Wexford 0-2 UCD
Kenna scored both goals, first from a penalty after missing one seconds earlier and the second from a rebound from a penalty after he hit the bar. I think we need a new penalty taker.
Team was Gregg, Mahon, Lorcan Keeney (ex Hearts & Wolves), Kenna, Shortall, McNally, Bolger, King, McWalter, John Reilly (signed from Longford), Byrne. Subs: Purcell, Last, Brennan, Tony Doyle, Forsyth

I'm not sure if McNally played in midfield with McWalter up front or if we had 5 in midfield or what.

[DmanDmythDledge]

We played 4-5-1. Think McNally was centre mid, with Kenna and Shorthall centre backs.

Standard pre-season stuff. Went 4-4-2 in the second half when Timmy and Forsyth came on. The likes of Finn, Bermingham, O'Sullivan and O'Callaghan weren't involved as they're playing the colleges leagues anyway. Will put up a match report shortly.
