About 25 minutes in, Wexford were awarded a free-kick and this was followed by a straight red for Gary McCabe presumably for something off-the-ball. McCabe, together with Quigley, had been one of Rovers better players up to this. However, Wexford still couldn't dominate possession with the extra man as Rovers improved their passing as the match went on. With 30 gone, Rovers went a goal up when Quigley took a free from outside the box which Graham couldn't keep out even though he got a hand to it. Brian then got a yellow for a tackle and this was followed by Rover's second goal when a shot was blocked by a Youth's defender but the clearance was poor and it fell to a Rover's attacker who drilled it home for 2-0. Poor goal given away by the Youths. A few minutes before half-time, Youths had their first effort to test Murphy in the Rover's goal when Deano glanced a header just wide. Glenn was then just unable to get onto the end of another good Youth's cross for 2-0 to the Rovers at half-time.
