Full Time here in Cork as City are subjected to their ninth defeat of the season with Wexford Youths running out 2-0 winners. Cork dominated much of the second half but failed to capitalise in that and an Emily Corbet goal in the 82nd minute was enough to put the game beyond the home side after Mendez's own goal gave the visitors the lead in the first half.

Clancy picks up a booking for kicking the ball away

Mangan hits the crossbar from a few yards out as Cork look for a consolation, Mangan has been Cork's main goal threat this evening but hasn't been able to convert yet

Yellow for McNamara after a tactical foul to stop a Wexford attack

Wexford had begun to up the pace and that goal always seems likely once they got at a Cork defence that has been unsettled all game long

Corbet gets her boot in front of her marker and directs a cross from the right hand side beautifully into the goal looping over McCarthy to double Wexford lead

Break in play as McCarthy gets some treatment, Cork have dominated this half but need to have something to show for their effort by the full time whistle

Laura Shine strikes one towards goal, though it was probably a miscued cross, and Williams gets across to make the comfortable save

Game has slowed in the last while, neither team seem to be willing or able to take this game to their opponent at the minute

Good strike by Mangan just outside the box but she can't keep it down enough and it goes over the bar

Some panic in the Cork box but eventually McCarthy comes to claim and clean up the mess

Again some nice play by Cork, they have looked better than their position in the league table suggests this evening

And we are back on here, lets see if the heat starts to take its toll on either side in this second period

Half time at Turner's cross Wexford lead Cork City 1-0 thanks to an own goal on 37 minutes. Cork have played some nice football but have failed to create much and do look fragile at the back. Wexford have had a number of efforts saved or fly just wide and the own goal will be a big help as they obviously didn't bring their shooting boots today. Cork have a huge 45 ahead to try turn this game and their season around

Clipped effort from an onrushing Brophy sails just over from the edge of the box

That goal will really shake up the team talks at half time a disastrous slice of misfortune for Cork when they are already up against it

Dangerous cross by Lawrence right across the face and it is put into her own net by Mendez to give Wexford the lead

Very optimistic effort from Mangan from nearly 40 yards which bounces into Williams arms

The final ball has let both teams down so far with a number of promising positions spurned half an hour in

Strike by Corbet from the edge on the area with only McCarthy to beat is unfortunately for the Wexford striker, you close to the keeper and easily saved

Yellow for Dwyer for stopping a Cork counter with a cynical foul

Injury for Lawrence interrupts an entertaining open 20 minutes of football but as yet no decisive moment

Shot by Walsh for Wexford is pushed wide well by McCarthy and it goes for s corner with Wexford showing a good deal of threat

Bradley's shot from an angle held by Williams in the Wexford goal, the immediate counter leads to a shot by Lawrence that flies just over

Some bright sunshine over the pitch now, the heat will surely play a factor heading later into the game

Settled first few minutes for both sides, comfortable and probing gently is probably the best way to describe the opening for either team

And we are off!

The players file out now into the warm summers day and hopefully prepared to serve up an entertaining affair

Wexford have their top scorer Rianna Jarrett back on the bench, who has been absent in their last two fixtures in which they have obviously struggled without her link up play and leadership in a loss to Bohemians and scraping a draw against Treaty last time out

Wexford have struggled to pick up any momentum so far this season and could themselves do with a resounding win to get the tides turning in their campaign to a title charge, which is looking less and less likely each week

We are only a couple of minutes away from kick off in Turner's Cross where Cork City will hope to finally get their first win of the season on the board against a side they haven't managed to beat since 2017
