Second half continued in a similar manner with very few chances. On six minutes, Meabh Russell equalised for Wexford with what looked like a cross which sailed into the opposite top corner to give Budden no chance. Fair dues if she meant it! Wexford almost headed home from a corner before, on 18 minutes, Jaime Thompson was left unmarked again at the end of a Rovers cross but she didn’t make clean contact and it proved an easy catch for Williams. With twenty minutes gone, failure to get touch-tight or pick-up before a cross came in proved Wexford’s failing again this time with a three-on-three inside the Wexford area. However, none of the defenders is touch-tight and there appears to be nobody from the away side giving a shout/abuse! The ball comes in and it comes straight to an unmarked Rovers attacker who is able to play a free cushioned header. Two Wexford defenders take a step forward towards the Rovers header-er, but it’s too late. The second Rovers attacker who gets on the end of the cushioned header is now free to either shoot or square it and does the latter with two of the Wexford defenders now out of the game. The square pass finds Aine O’Gorman in acres of space as the photo available shows and Wexford have coughed up another easily preventable goal from a simple failure to pick up at crosses.
