On 32 minutes, Eric was able to dispossess the Cabo left back, drive into the box and shoot narrowly wide when only having Moran to beat from an angle. On 37 minutes, Danny won the ball in Cabo's own third but also shot wide. With two minutes to go in the half. Craig Wall got free down the right hand side and his cross was volleyed narrowly wide by Danny from ten out. Then, after a half Wexford clearance, the ball was fed to Cabo's McKeown, about 25 yards out from goal, and his first-time effort got a deflection to beat Graham low at the right-hand post to put Cabinteely 2-1 ahead at the half-time break. Wexford began the second half well and after two minutes, Andy was put through on goal, but a last-ditch tackle prevented him from shooting. On five minutes, Gary Delaney clipped the top of the crossbar after the ball was passed to him from a quick Wexford free. With ten minutes gone, Danny appealed for a peno after being pushed over when attempting to reach a cross from the left, but ref. Mullally waved it away. With 12 minutes gone in the second half. Cabo's McKeown picked up a yellow for a tackle and, three minutes later, Craig McCabe also saw yellow for something off-the-ball, which was called by the linesman. Just past the hour mark, Rocks Keenan made a welcome return from injury in place of Eric. Then, on 19 minutes, McKeown put in a fairly obvious dive when going past Gary Delaney and received a second yellow to bring both sides down to ten. Rocks and Oguntula then got a yellow apiece for squaring up to each other. Midway through the second half, Paul Cahillane came on in place of Craig McCabe who appeared to hobble off with an ankle injury. As the game entered into the last ten minutes, the Youths became a little more direct and it eventually paid dividends. With five minutes to go, a cross from the right by Cahillane was met by Danny and the ball broke to him again to allow him to stab it home for 2-2.
