Deserved win by Wexford in Ferrycarrig tonight with Wexford dominating in terms of chances created. Youths kept the same shape as against Limerick with Anto coming in for Patsy at centre-half. Starting 11 was Packie, Wolfie, Anto, Breener, Dean, John Byrne, Jimmy, Shane, Kevin and Gary and Danny up front. Youths started well and created a number of good chances including a volley from Danny which Athlone keeper did well to push round for a corner, another chance for Danny when through but he tried to find Gary, a further Danny chance when their keeper spilt a shot by Gary and finally when Athlone defender headed Gary's cross against his own post. Goal then came when Danny was put through and he delightfully chipped the keeper from thirty yards giving him no chance. With two minute board showing up, Athlone then equalised with their only real chance when Wexford defence allowed attacker to get behind them in the box who crossed leaving further Athlone attacker to slot home from six yards. One-one at half-time but Youths should have been clear.
