Second half saw Fagan, Conan Byrne and Sean Hoare coming on for Pats with the Youths not making a change and wasn't as good as the first half. On the hour mark, Conor English had an effort from an angle which went a yard past the post. Danny Furlong was then replaced by Andy Wall and Youth's forward threat greatly reduced. Paul Brennan then came on for Craig Comerford for the Youths. Lots of Pats pressure from then on but little of note created until, with ten minutes to go, a Youths defender seemed to win the ball in the tackle inside the Wexford area but the referee thought otherwise to enable Killian Brennan to slot home past Graham for 1-0. Quiet enough ending from then on with Seamus Houghton coming on for Graham Doyle and late cameo appearances by Conor Maher and David Doyle. Best for Wexford were Danny who looked very lively up front and Peter Higgins and Craig Wall in midfield while Ryan Delaney and Lee Grace did nothing wrong in the middle of the back four. For Pats, Greg Bolger ran the show and found two full-backs - Birmingham and McCormack - ready to go forward at every opportunity to give the necessary width.
1-0 to Pats at full-time.
