Wexford will have been pleased to take the three points against Devon today after playing the last hallf-hour with ten men in breezy Ferrycarrig. Wexford started at nearly full strength with Packie, Anto, Breener, Wolfie, Warren, Jimmy, Patsy, Shane, Dean and Danny and Gary up front. Wexford played with the wind in the first half and immediately dominated a young small Devon side with Patsy and Shane lording it in midfield and trying to release Gary and Danny at every opportunity. It was no surprise when the Youths went in front when Breener rose unchallenged to nod home Dean's corner. However, two things changed the match. Firstly, out of the blue, Devon equalised when Youths couldn't clear a corner and Charlie Burke lobbed home their first league goal into the far corner. Then Shane, who got a knock to the head went off with Chris Kenny coming on. Devon were buoyed by the goal and match remained reasonably equal to half-time. One-one and Wexford got caught far too much going off-side in the half.
