Second-half began quietly enough and, after ten, Eric came on for Clarkey in a wide-right position. Wexford had tried to keep the ball down in the first and did the same in the second and it eventually paid dividends. After fifteen, Daryl was sent free down the left and his low cross found Eric in the clear who knocked it home low right for 1-0. This was followed almost immediately by a straight red for Joey after what looked like a fairly innocuous foul. However, Wexford looked the quicker round the pitch and the loss of the player didn't affect the balance of the game much. With 25 gone in the half, Eric was put through again and his shot was deflected past Birdsall for 2-0. On the half-hour, Brian won a free just outside the box which looked well inside and Jimmy knocked the free to the far post for Rocks to head home for 3-0. Cobh then managed a tap-in goal which was flagged for offside and Wexford were safe. Glen came on for Daryl Power who was excellent for what I think is a 16 year old with five to go and Shane then came on for his twin Brian. The match then finished with three more yellows, one for Meade for Cobh and Crokey and Glen for a tackle and a dive.
