QuoteAfter ten, Shane got a yellow for the second of two tackles. After fifteen, Mervue had their first effort when a forward volleyed when in the clear and found by a cross. After twenty, Goldbey should have scored when he nodded wide at the far post when five yards out and pretty much clear. With fifteen to go in the half, Danny got a yellow for diving when he seemed to be impeded in the Mervue box. Game then petered out in the heavy rain for nil-nil a half-time. Second hald began quiet enough and after five, Gaffney got a yellow for impeding a defender for the second time. Game then radically turned in favour of Mervue when from a corner, a free header from Varley well beyond the far post seemed to catch Packie by surprise and he could only help it into the net for one-nil. A minute later, three failed efforts by Wexford to clear the ball in their own half left King on his own about fifteen out and a reasonably simple volley was blasted past Packie for two-nil. Gareth then made a welcome return from injury in place of Muzzi. About mid-way through the second-hald, Eoin Kinsella came on for Kevin and slotted into midfield.
