The second half began with plenty of sparks. Cobh had a good shot blocked by decent Wexford defending and immediately Crokey fashioned a good Wexford chance with a good move inside the Cobh box but Wexford couldn’t finish. The ball then ended up at the other end ofthe pitch again when a raised arm was deemed a penalty by a decent referee (not sure who he is). Cobh blasted the peno high and left into the net and Cobh were ahead 1-0. With 20 minutes to go, Aaron O’Connor came on in place of Liam McCartan. With 18 minutes to go, an excellent piece of play by an impressive Denzil Fernandes for Cobh left three Wexford defenders in his wake and when the ball was touched off, it left an easy finish for a Cobh attacker for 2-0. However, Wexford pulled a goal back almost immediately when a shot by Dean Kelly hit the inside of the post and rolled along the goal-line, but the goal was given by the linesman just as the retreating Cobh defender attempted to clear. Mark Slater then came on for Wexford and again looked lively during his time on the pitch. Wexford applied some pressure to get the equaliser but the final important piece of action fell to Corey Chambers who did really well again to touch a point-blank header by a Cobh attacker over the bar.
