This gave the home side a huge lift and Danny Furlong nearly profited from the lifting of the shackles from Wexford as he hit a left-footed effort just the other side of the post. On the hour mark, Bray nearly got the equalizer with a good move from a corner but it got deflected just over Wexford’s cross-bar by a home defender. Danny Furlong and Paddy Cahill then got yellows as they tried to stem the Bray tide and it was followed by a Bray yellow. Wexford got the insurance goal on 83 minutes when Bray attempted a quick free-kick in the middle of the pitch but it was pounced on by Jack Doherty who drove forward unchallenged and smacked an unstoppable half-volley past Sava. One decent parry by Corey Chambers in the Wexford goal then secured a good clean-sheet for the home side as subs Sean Kelly and Andrew Farrell came on to bolster the home team’s efforts. Best for Wexford on the night were the back four with Jack Doherty working tirelessly up front but my man of the match was Paddy Cahill who was hugely impressive in the engine-room for Wexford. About 300 or so at the game with decent support from Bray.
