If the first half was relatively even, Wexford dominated the second period, and the only criticism you could make of the Slaneysiders was that they didn’t make the game safe. With Wexford dominating midfield, the ball remained largely in Peamount’s own half as Wexford’s Teegan Lynch had a shot pushed away for a corner and Ciara Rossiter had two decent chances, the latter of which was saved by Reid Burke at the expense of another Wexford corner. From that corner, the ball pinged around the Peamount six yard area, but Wexford couldn’t convert a number of headed efforts. With fifteen minutes left in the game, Lynn Marie Grant came on for a welcome return for Wexford and was later followed onto the Wexford side by Sinead Taylor. However, Peamount rallied in the final ten minutes with former Wexford player, Lauren Kelly, going close for the Peas and Stephanie Roche having a shot just pushed around the post by an ever-vigilant Kiev Gray in the Wexford goal. Just as you thought Wexford were in the final, the Peas best player, Aine O’Gorman, produced a shot/cross from an acute angle to finish just inside’s Wexford far post and it was 1-1.
