QuoteSecond half also began slowly but then, after 12 minutes, Rocks hit a cross into the box at good pace from the left and it was headed into his own net by the Harps left full at the far post under pressure from Ben Ryan for a 2-0 scoreline to the home side. A minute later, Harps got a goal back when McHugh used hs experience to nudge Lasty off the ball in the act of clearing and then t smack it home from about 12 yards out to bring the score to 2-1. Harps then nearly equalised four minuteslater, when Graham had to rush off his lineto block an attempt by Jonny Bonner and it went for a corner. With 20 minutes gone, Cowan picked up a yellow for a tackle on Skelly. Three minutes later, Tommy Bonner committed a poor tackle on Eric at knee level, and got his second yellow to bring Harps down to ten and Josh Mailey also got a yellow for dissent. Patton then brought off two good saves to dent Danny with a flick at the near post and then Lasty with header from a free. With five to go of the ninety, Ben sent Danny free with a neat reverse pass but Patton got down to save Danny's effort. This ball was turned back into the box and Rocks and McNulty clashing heads at thefar post with the Harps man coming off worst. Five minutes of injury time followed after Fisher came on for McNulty and with Ricky coming on for Ben. Ricky almost immediately picked up a yellow for a tackle. Wexford didn't really dominate possession during these last few minutes despite the man advantage and Harps had a succession of long throws into the box. Eventually, the ball was hit straight up in the air from one of these throws, and Graham came out but was beaten to the ball by Mailey who headed home for 2-2.
