Poor first half from Wexford meant that they never really stretched the home team in Longford tonight although the Youths had a better second 45. Shane Keegan made three changes from last week with Gary, Caolan and Graham Delaney making his first start with Graham, Craig, Gary, Jamie, Jimmy, Brian, Shane, Joey, Caolan, Rocks and with Graham up front. Wexford tried to be over-elaborate from the back during the first 45, and repeatedly lost the ball in their own half which you can't do against a dangerous Longford attack. After five, O'Sullivan latched onto a through ball but Graham got down to block. On eight minutes, McCarthy got a yellow for Longford for impeding Shane who was going through. A minute later, a Longford corner was only half-cleared and Tyrell volleyed it back inside the far post for 1-0 to Longford. On 13 minutes, another through-ball was latched onto by O'Sullivan who lifted it over the advancing Graham for 2-0 to the home side.
