Deserved win for the home side in Galway tonight as they produced the few moments of quality up front to put away the Youths who, once Mervue had been able to match them for physicality, found they had little else to offer. With Wexford missing a number, including Shane Nolan, Aidan and DEano who would normally play wide, Youths started with Graham, Mark, Jamie, James, Jimmy, Craig, Patsy, Shane Dempsey, Eric Danny, and Tom up front. First chance of the game fell to Mervue after two when a Mervue forward was found with a cross in the clear but he headed badly over. Wexford generally dominated thereafter but without creating too much. Mervue then set up another good chance after 20 when a cross found another Mervue forward in the clear but his half-volley on the turn was put over. Wexford's first real chance came midway through the first half when Shane D. put Danny clear down the right but a tame shot was collected easily by Forde in the Mervue goal.
