Three goals in the last half an hour helped Wexford come from two down to beat Kerry at Ferrycarrig Park tonight.

Amechi made his first start tonight and his brace put Kerry 2-0 up, but captain Ethan Boyle headed home before Dobbs poked home and Furlong slotted from 12 yards to complete a huge comeback.

Both teams now move on to cup action next week, with Kerry looking forward to a huge cup tie against Drogheda with Wexford facing St Patrick’s CY. 

Kerry FC made five changes from their XI that earned them a point on Monday night against Cobh, with Amechi, Ainscough and Brosnan all making their first start for the club.

Within the first ten minutes, Dennehy was rewarded for his tweaking, as Martin Coughlan who returned to the lineup after starting last Friday laid the ball off to Kennedy Amechi, who brought the ball onto his left and released a rocket into the top corner, absolutely nothing Ireland underage International Owen Mason could do about it in the Wexford net. 

From then on Wexford didn’t really chase the game too much, Kerry were in control and looked solid as a unit, which came as a surprise with a squad that has little to no match experience together. Alex Ainscough in particular at the back was commanding his defence, you would be forgiven for thinking he had played every game this season. 

Wexford did grow into the game as the half came to a close. Oluwa had their first effort on target from a header as they began to turn the screw but the Kerry backline and in particular captain Kevin Williams were out to throw their bodies on the line for everything that came their way to preserve their narrow lead at the half time interval. 

Just before the hour mark Kerry doubled their advantage, Sean O’Connell met the ball extremely well at the edge of the box and smashed towards Owen Mason who could only parry to the side where Kennedy Amechi was waiting to double his tally on the night. 

Moments later though, similar to Monday for Kerry, their lead was halved by a long throw. This time O’Malley launched in from the right hand side and captain Ethan Boyle beat keeper Axworthy to get one back for the hosts.

Despite Dennehy turning to his bench for the experienced players, Wexford got an equaliser, a free kick delivered into the box found its way back across to Aaron Dobbs who tapped home to equalise. 

Moments later, Wexford took the lead. Seconds after the restart Weford got a penalty after goalkeeper Axworthy took out his man through on goal. Substitute Furlong stepped up and slotted home to give Wexford the lead. 

Wexford did not play well but will welcome the three points tonight with Kerry for the second time this week not securing victory after being 2-0 to the good. A tough week for the Kingdom.
