The full time whistle comes to the relief of Wexford who no longer have to endure this loss on the pitch any longer at least. Wonderful performance by Longford sends them above Wexford in a resulting that will send their fans smiling all the way home. Clinical, decisive and defensively sound, their performance had it all. And it ends here at Ferrycarrig Park Wexford FC 0-3 Longford Town

Longford almost add a fourth, Darragh Lynch sees his close range effort tipped brilliantly onto the bar by Heffernan but the ball bounces away and the final whistle goes

Sean Fitzpatrick fires a volley on the swivel high and wide and Harrington remains unbeaten

The five minutes of added time should prove inconsequential as Longford have the three points nicely wrapped up

It’s a well deserved win for the impressive Longford tonight, they’ll be hoping to hold onto this clean sheet to make it even sweeter

Game is petering out now as the result seems more and more certain

Giurgi skips past Dunne and into the box but he can’t find a way past Heffernan with his right footed strike

This game has gotten away from Wexford very quickly and it would take a mammoth effort to get anything out of this fixture now

Longford make it 3 through O’Brien Whitmarsh to surely put the game beyond Wexford. Some impressive dribbling by Jamal Ibrahim led him into the box where he laid the ball off for the Longford striker to bag his brace with a low drive

Dunne has a header cleared off the line by Cian Byrne and from the resulting corner Piper has a thumping header denied by Harrington as Wexford just can’t get off the mark here tonight

Ethan Boyle sees his deflected shot loop just over the bar from only yards out after an incredible tackle by Kyle O’Connor diverts the ball from being surely a certain goal

Yellow for O’Brien Whitmarsh after a foul on the halfway line

That being said, Darragh Levingston’s corner almost flies all the way in but no one can provide the telling touch

Some super deliveries from Longford’s right hand side by Giurgi looks to set a precedent for the half that Longford have come out to kill this game off

Tame shot by substitute Danny Furlong is easily kept out by Harrington in the Longford net

And we are back, wouldn’t have liked to have been in that Wexford dressing room at halftime and they come out with two changes already prepared

Halftime arrives here after a crazy 5 minutes saw Longford go two goals in front, only for Wexford to have chances to have levelled the game before the half was even out. The half started slowly but it saved all the action for the end and Longford walk into the dressing rooms 2-0 leaders here after those mental five minutes

Wexford miss two golden chances in consecutive attacks to pull themselves back into the game, first Dobbs can only hit the keeper from 8 yards out as he found himself completely free in the box, then only seconds later a driving Ben Lynch poked his effort into the side netting as he closed in on the Longford goal

Longford make it two in two minutes as Giurgi gets in front of his man to pass the ball into the bottom corner from a low cross into Wexford’s near post. 2-0 in a flash!

Longford open the scoring through the head of their striker O’Brien Whitmarsh after a hopeful ball into the box has Heffernan coming and failing to claim as the ball is headed over him and into the empty net

Dobbs strikes from range but the connection is poor and it trickles well wide

The game is yet to really open up yet, marked so far by a lot of quality defending

Couple of blocked shots from range for Wexford who are yet to trouble the Longford net in the opening half hour

Longford have had some great passages of play in recent minutes and look quite likely to find an opening here with Wexford slight lay off the pace set by the midlands club so far

Josh Giurgi completely miscues a cross after some great Longford play had him breaking into the box with numerous options but he can only skew the ball straight out of play

Shot stopped on the line by Wexford defender Reece Webb after a shot by Viktor Serdenuik evaded Wexford keeper Heffernan but the right back comes to the rescue and the game remains goalless

Ball has been dominated by Wexford so far in an uneventful opening 10

Strong running by Conor Levingston leads to Wexford obtaining the first corner of the game but it fails to materialise the first effort on goal

And we are off!!

Wexford ran out 2-1 winners in Longford in their matchup earlier this season thanks to an Aaron Dobbs brace who will be looking to get back in the goals tonight for the home side

Both sides have struggled for consistency so far this season, sitting towards the bottom end of the division and o LG one point separating them from each other

A cloudy Friday evening in Ferrycarrig Park is the setting for tonight’s clash between Wexford FC and Longford Town. Both teams suffered considerable losses in their previous games to Galway and Treaty respectively, and will be looking to turn those fortunes on its head this evening
