Second half was only six minutes old when Jack Doherty put Aaron Dobbs away, and he hammered an unstoppable volley past Chambers to make the result safe for Longford at 2-0 for the away side. Shane Griffin then forced Steacy in the Longford goal to spill a Wexford free. Dobbs then pulled a shot a yard wide of the Wexford post and Andy O’Connor had to be stopped by a brave Steacy save inside the Longford area. Further Wexford half-chances subsequently fell to Stephen Lawless who pulled an effort wide of the post when inside the Longford area and Shane Griffin who smacked an audacious volley a yard wide. Another huge plus for Wexford was the return, after a very lengthy ACL injury, of Andy Mulligan, one of the best players Wexford have ever had. Special mentions to Crokey, who worked his socks off before being substituted, and Emmet Nugent of Wexford who looked so much more energised playing through the middle, although little fell for him on the night. 2-0 to Longford at full-time. 194 at the match according to club's Twitter account.
