Second half mainly consisted of further pressure by the Youths, but they couldn't get the ball over the chalky line. On ten minutes, a hard-working Craig Wall had a run and a shot, but Browne in the Cobh goal got down to save. On 15 minutes, Cobh's McCarthy got a yellow for a tackle. Craig McCabe then got a yellow for another tackle and was soon after replaced by Eric Molloy with Speedy moving to right-back. On 65 minutes, Rocks set up Danny inside the Cobh box, but his volley was tipped over by Browne. From that corner, Eric hit the post with another volley and the ball fell to Danny but he couldn't get a clean strike and Browne was able to gather. Cobh then picked up another yellow and as the match headed towards the 90 minute mark, Cobh had their chance to equalise when a good cross came in from Kenny on Cobh's right. Graham had to react quickly to punch it away one-handed but it fell to a Cobh attacker about 14 yards out. His first-time strike could only hit the last Wexford defender with Graham effectively out of position and Cobh's chance was gone. Five minutes injury time were played but this only led to another chance for Craig Wall who couldn't keep it on target.
