Comfortable win for the Youths tonight as they created far more against a fairly porous SD defence and ultimately gained the three points. Game was however marred by an inept refereeing performance. Youths started with Graham in goal, a back four of Clarkey, Jamie, Brian and Corkey, a midfield five of Joey, Patsy, Crokey, Rocks and with Glenn in front of them, and Danny up front on his own. First twenty was very open with plenty of chances for both sides. After two, a cross from Danny from the left found Joey at the far post but he couldn't keep his shot on target. With eight gone, SD had a reasonably free header from a corner but the attacker put it wide. With twelve gone, Patsy knocked a header into the box for Danny, whose first attempt on goal was blocked by Keane in the SD goal bit it fell to Danny once again and this time he put it away for 1-0 to the home side. A minute later, a cross by Wexford was sliced backwards by an SD defender leaving Joey with an easy task of slotting it home for 2-0. On the quarter-hour, Graham had to push a good SD volley over the bar for a corner. With twenty gone, SD pulled one back when the Youths lost the ball in their own half on their right and while Graham was able to parry the first effort, he couldn't stop Curran knocking home the rebound for 2-1. Game died a bit thereafter but, on the half-hour, the SD keeper did well to block Joey's effort when he had been put through down the right. With five to go in the half, Rocks and an SD player both got yellows for some handbags at a Wexford free-kick.
