Two second half goals secured the win for Longford in a very breezy Ferrycarrig tonight where Wexford's lack of creative ability going forward eventually told agaianst them. Youths made two changes to the team which started last week and started Packie, Karl, Anto, Wolfie, Murt, Shane, Patsy, Craig, Ben and Danny and new signing Dara Walsh up front. The wind and a lively pitch gave rise to lots of heading duels and chances generally were few and far between.
First twenty was poor enough and first real chance then fell to Longford when Wolfie did well to block a close range shot from Cowan. A minute later, Packie did well to finger-tip a swirling cross just over the edge of the cross-bar. Wexford then had their best spell of the match when Danny got the first shot on target, Shane just couldn't stretch to a shot-cross and Dara should really have scored when he put a free header over the bar. Nil-nil at half-time.
