Wexford continued to make little impression at the start of the second half and, on the hour mark, Damian Locke brought on Duxey Dunne and Dean Kelly to live things up. On 68 minutes, Shels had a flashing header which went just the other side of thepost. With twenty minutes to go, Adam Hanlon broke free down the left wing but couldn’t keep his effort on target. Wexford then continued to push forward and, Danny Doyle came on in place of Adam O’Rourke. Delany was then fortunate to deflect a Mark Slater effort over his own bar for a corner. From that corner, Wexford won the header at the far post, and Danny Doyle was on hand to nod the second header home from close in to level the game at 1-1. A debut goal from a very honest and industrious player who’s still U19. Shels then tried to regain the advantage and had a shot which crashed off the crossbar and down but not over the line before Feeney got his angles right a block away a one-on-one with a Shels forward who came at him from an angle. So, 1-1 at full-time after a lively last 20 minutes. Best for Wexford were Adam Hanlon, Mikey Byrne and Ross Kenny and Wexford are now guaranteed not to finish bottom. Well done to Shels for bringing a bus-load of fans to a game on which nothing depended to bring the attendance, if I’m right, to 315.
