Unbelievable result in Ferrycarrig tonight but not so much in the context of the game in which Derry didn't put out their best side and could never pick it up against the Youths who, once they got a sniff, battled with an intensity which Derry never matched. Wexford started 4-4-1-1 with Packie, Shane, Karl, Murt, Deano, Kevin, Patsy, Craig, Danny and Ben playing centrally behind Dara up front. Derru had an early chance after four when a looping shot went over Packie to hit the inside of the post and then nearly hit the other post but staying out. After ten, Packie had to get down smartly at the near post to collect a low cross from the Derry wingers (McClean and McLoughlin) who both looked threatening when they got the ball to feet. Game then surprisingly settled down with Derry posing little threat.
