Wexford FC v Cabinteely

[ForzaForth]

Good contest, particularly in the second half, enabled Wexford gain a welcome three points in Ferrycarrig tonight, but Cabo will probably feel that they created enough chances to at least draw the game. Wexford began with Jimmy, Thomas, Conor, Lorcan, Karl M, Karl F, Kevin, Dobbo, Jack M. Kyle and Jack D. There was only a moderate breeze in Wexford’s favour in the first half but they didn’t play that well with it as too many passes were overcooked and hit too long. Wexford had a very early chance on three minutes through Kyle Robinson, but his effort on Harry Halwax’s goal was blocked. Cabo then were nearly through on the Wexford goal through Kieran Marty Waters on nine minutes, but Lorcan Fitzgerald’s effort to hold him back was, fortunately for Wexford, not punished by the referee. This was followed by a one-on-one against Jimmy Corcoran in the Wexford goal by a Cabo forward but it was at an acute angle and Jimmy was able to block the shot away for a Cabo corner. Neither side could then create much until just before half-time when Waters for Cabo had a cracking effort on goal which Jimmy Corcoran was happy to deflect over his own bar for a corner. Cabo then followed this by a header on target but Corcoran was able to grab it comfortably enough and it was 0-0 at half-time with Cabo having shaded the half.

Second half was better particularly by Wexford who managed to create enough to threaten the Cabo goal on several occasions. On 12 minutes, the excellent Jack Doherty had a shot deflected inches the wrong side of the Cabo post for a Wexford corner. From that corner, Kyle Robinson put Wexford ahead with a bullet header from close in and Wexford were in front. However, it didn’t take Cabo long to equalise as a cross from the right by Cabo was headed home by Kieran Marty Waters and it was 1-1. Wexford were undoubtedly energised by going in front, however, and Robinson was unlucky to see his chip of Halwax just turned away by the latter for a corner on 18 minutes. On 24 minutes, Wexford regained the lead when Doherty collected a quick Wexford throw-in and his first-time cross found Jack Moylan free inside the box. Moylan’s good first touch enabled him to beat Halwax with ease with his second and it was 2-1 to Wexford. Subs for Wexford as the second half progressed had included Paul Fox, Harry Groome, Anto Dolan and Evan Farrell. Cabo came close to equalising again but a couple of shots pulled wide of the Wexford posts and a Cabo header over the bar in injury time enabled Wexford to hold on to the lead and secure their third win of the season – all against Cabo. Best for Wexford were Jimmy Corcoran in goal who is improving by leaps and bounds, Karl Fitzsimons down the right and Jack Doherty up front ably assisted by Kyle Robinson and Jack Moylan. Maybe, 180 at the game.

Good to see Robinson scoring for ye. Has Success Edogun left or is he injured. I haven't seen him on the teamsheet for a while.

Kyle Robinson is doing really well. Eight goals now, I think. Success Edogun is gone - wasn't getting much game-time.
