How is everyone?
I have heard that Anto Russell is on duty for the Ireland Garda Team and may not be available for the game. UCD are very likely to have Brian Shortall suspended.
I expect the Youths to give UCD a very good game as usual.
I'm a bit disheartend after the 'anti-climatic' weather over the Waterford RSC on Tuesday.
Yes, looking forward to the game and would probably be happy enough with a point to stay ahead of the Mondogs in the battle for fifth place.
We don't have a supporter's bus going to UCD but we should have enough to drown out the shouts of cmon college.
hopefully there will be a few more ucd supports seeing as the students are back. should be a good game!
No complaints about result tonight. Wexford started 4-4-2 with Lee wide laft and Sinny wide right and Shane and Patsy in the middle. However, Jimmy soon dropped back into midfield leaving Gary up front on his own. Unlike last time, let Ronan Finn on his own in midfield which may have been a mistake. UCD's first chance came when a neat turn let a forward clear on goal but he screwed his shot wide with Packie coming out. Gary then had Youth's only real chance of the match when a flick-on left him clear but he took his shot earlier than needed and it flew over the bar. UCD's first goal came from a free header at the near post from a corner and their second about ten minutes later when some neat passing carved us open and it was finished off with an easy tuck-away. Two-nil at half-time.
UCD sat back in second-half and Wexford tried to keep it on the ground a bit more but never really created anything with UCD looking very strong at the back. Best chance of the half fell to UCD towards the end but the forward shot just over when he was well-placed. Wexford moved Breener up front for the last fifteen minutes and it's something that could be used again as Gary really needs someone alongside who can win the ball in the air. Otherwise, thought Peter White and Anto Russell played well.
