Poor defensive performance from Limerick in first half resulted in Wexford getting all three points in very eventful match in Ferrycarrig tonight. Wexford started four-five-one with Packie, Wolfie, Anto, Aidan, Hopper, Dean, Shane, Greg Yelverton (debut), Jimmy, Gary wide left and Danny up front on his own. Game started quiet enough until Shane, who was excellent, got a shot away which the Limerick keeper could only knock away for a corner. Limerick then hit the post from a free-kick and Packie had to get down to the far post to keep a header out. Wexford then went ahead when Gary cut in from the left and his shot fell to Jimmy in the box who turned and slotted it away. Second goal came again from Gary who again cut in from the left and his shot hit a Limerick defender's hand for a harsh enough penalty. Shane tucked it away top left giving the keeper no chance. However, Limerick replied immediately with a header from a corner and generally Limerick threatened all night in the air as we are not the biggest side at the moment. However, Shane restored the two goal advantage with a fantastic shot from 35 yards which bounced on the keeper's dive and really gave him no chance. Deano than brought it to four-one when Limerick couldn't clear another ball in the box and he tucked it past the keeper. Four-one to Wexford at half-time.
