Wexford had been penalised a number of times for fouls just the other side of the penalty area, and it eventually proved costly for the home side as Junior Quitirna curled a free past Moody. With 14 minutes gone in the second half, it was 2-0 to Waterford when a ball travelled a long way across Wexford’s goal to allow Idowu to finish easily at the far post. Wexford not really playing well at this stage but got a life-line on 19 minutes when a well-struck volley found an outstretched Waterford hand inside the Blues’ penalty area. Wexford’s Conor Barry sent Murphy the wrong way from the spot and it was 2-1. Paul Cleary and Arron Dobbs had come on for Wexford at this stage and, for some reason, Wexford started creating real chances which they had found so difficult to do up till then. Thomas Considine and Dobbsy both had good chances to score but neither hit the target as Wexford started to take control of the game. Then, with ten minutes to go, Wexford's substitute, Adam Wells bombed down Wexford’s left to put in a low cross which was turned home close in by Dobbsy and it was 2-2. Conor Davis then came on for Wexford and, with a few minutes of injury-time gone, Aouachria was set up in front of the Wexford goal but, on his weaker foot, came off the shot badly and the ball arced well wide of the Wexford goal. So, 2-2 at full-time after a really good game. Best for Wexford were probably Len O’Sullivan, Luka Lovic and Conor Barry with Dobbsy turning the game when he came on. For Waterford, Junior Quitirna impressed while Darragh Power looks a fine prospect. Crowd was reported to be 818.
