If Waterford were a touch the better side in the first half, it was Wexford who largely controlled the second half as they managed to pin Waterford back for lengthy periods due perhaps to the away side having dominance in midfield where they picked up a lot of dirty ball. Hunty in the Wexford goal did, however, have to get down well to prevent a Waterford break from notching a third and then stretching low to stop Wordsworth of Waterford scoring. But otherwise it was Wexford who looked more like getting their second goal as Lorcan Fitzgerald curled a free narrowly side, Dinny Corcoran clipped the outside of the Waterford post after a nice turn in the box, and Wexford sub, Thomas Considine, heading against the Waterford crossbar with a reflex header from close in. Wexford also had a shout for a peno of their own when Dobbs was brought down by Murphy in the Waterford goal, and the only question is whether Murphy got a touch of the ball first. Other Wexford subs were Evan Farrell and Joe Manley. 2-1 to Waterford at full-time with best for Wexford being O’Sullivan, Dobbs, Crowley, Cleary and Davis.
