Is there any truth in the cliché that the worst thing you can do is score? That was what it seemed like as Wexford won an early free in the second half and the free was pumped into the Ajax area by Emma Hansberry where Rianna Jarrett, who had been giving her marker a torrid time, powered home a bullet header for 1-0 to Wexford. Unfortunately, Wexford then couldn’t make Ajax sweat as the Dutch side went up the pitch immediately where De Sanders buried a chance for 1-1. Emma Hansberry then put in another dangerous cross for Wexford but from about this time, you could see that Ajax’s possession and greater fitness was beginning to take its toll on the Wexford team. It became 2-1 in favour of Ajax on nine minutes when their winger put ina low cross which was steered home by Jansen. Ajax then had a cracker of a volley which hit the bar before a third goal came the way of the Dutch side with a tap home by Oudemast. Orla Casey replaced Kylie Murphy for Wexford and it soon was 4-1 as Van Der Most chipped Ciamh Dollard in the Wexford goal. Becky Conroy and McKenna Davidson were further subs for Wexford before Ciamh Dollard pulled off a fantastic save late on to deny Ajax a fifth goal. So, 4-1 to Ajax at full-time.
