Match Report
Wexford produce sucker punch to Treaty play-off prep
Goals in either half were enough for Wexford to see off play-off bound Treaty United. Jack Doherty and Dinny Corcoran finding the net for Ian Ryan's charges.
Despite missing out on the final play-off spot to Treaty United, Wexford finished their season on a high, with a deserved win over the Limerick outfit. Jack Doherty and Dinny Corcoran fired in the goals to give them an easier trip home.
Ian Ryan’s side will be regretting some dropped points at crucial stages this season with Treaty always occupying that final play-off berth.
Treaty had won two and drawn one of the previous head-to-head clashes but that looked set to change once the Slaneysiders struck the front on 10 minutes.
United boss Tommy Barrett made seven changes from the side who earned many plaudits in defeat to Derry City, in last weekends FAI Cup semi-final. Among those fighting for inclusion in the upcoming play-offs were Success Edogun and Matt Keane, while skipper Jack Lynch was getting much needed minutes after a disjointed season.
Ryan’s men hit the front with the games first opening, on ten minutes. The dangerous Jack Doherty arrived to head home a wonderful left-footed cross from Len O’Sullivan.
Conor David and O’Sullivan linked well throughout while Treaty lacked the consistency seen for much of this season – perhaps owing to several changes. The killer second goal arrived when Conor Barry found Corcoran in space with a corner and the striker made no mistake with a low finish.
Corcoran put on a good display and was deserving of his goal.
The Limerick side entertain in-form Waterford, at home, in the first leg of the play-offs, this coming on Wednesday. Tommy Barrett won’t worry about tonights loss with bigger days coming very soon.

Four extra minutes added.
Wexford find the net again, but it is disallowed for offside.
Dinny Corcoran makes it two. From a right side corner the reliable frontman takes the ball down and drills low to the net.
After a raft of substitutions, Treaty win a corner.
O'Sullivan in another advanced position and he stings the palms of Conor Winn.
Much better from Treaty with Success Edogun and Enda Curran linking well so far.
Second half underway with Treaty make two changes.
O'Sullivan gets in down the left but fires a low shot well wide.
Jack Doherty fires over from distance. Dinny Corocan isn't happy as he was looking for the return.
Little to report, Success Edogun trying to make the runs for Treaty but no joy with the passes through from midfield, thus far.
Rain coming down in a heavy mist, and Wexford looking more threatening on the break with O'Sullivan a good option on the left.
Treaty fans have the drum out but they'll be looking forward to next Wednesday when they'll face the first-play off leg against Waterford or Galway United.
Where did that come from? from nothing Len O'Sullivan delivers a wonderful cross from the left flank which is met by the head of Jack Doherty who places it in the corner for the opener. There is about 30 Wexford fans who've made the trip, who enjoyed that one.
An early shot from Colin Conroy goes wide from 25 yards.
Wexford try to score from kick off but the ball ends up in the car park. Game on - then off.
The teams have entered the pitch for this final league game of the season. Treaty make several changes so you'd fancy Wexford to finish their season with a result on Shannonside.
