Match Report

Wexford hold Peamount to a draw

Wexford Youths’ and Peamount United’s 1-1 draw means the only ones to come away from the game with a win at Ferrycarrig Park are Shelbourne.

Alannah McEvoy’s fifth minute strike was cancelled out by Aoibheann Clancy’s spot kick in the 33rd to send the sides into the break at 1-1 and although the second half saw chances pop up to fruition none of them were to prove decisive on the day.

When table toppers Peamount come to contact with their old arch rivals Wexford the fixture always promises to be a physical battle, and that of course you could credit this game tonight with.

Despite only one yellow card having been awarded throughout the match (Karen Duggan) the visceral reaction the players clearly embodied due to the far reaching importance of the result was no doubt heavily on display.

It took only five minutes for the deadlock to be shattered when McEvoy capitalized on some sloppy defensive slip ups to tap in the opener.

Set pieces were the aim of the day for the home side, looking to utilise them on every opportunity their addition to the scorecard came from the penalty spot.

Synonymous with tenacious fancy footwork, Clancy remained cool, calm and collected to slot away the ball out of reach of Niamh Reid Burke for the equaliser.

While prospects were a plenty throughout the residue of the occasion their conversion and transfer to the scoreline were not so ample.

A share of the spoils - the prize divvied to each of the teams upon the final whistle; the impact is made even more monumental when put in stark contrast to that of the reigning champions’ next clash.

The Reds collected a routine 3-1 victory over Cork City during the day, in essence putting them in the driving seat of the league and in poll position for the significant excursion to come now on Saturday the 11th of September in Greenogue.

  • Hot form Eleanor Ryan Doyle will aspire to add to her tally of 14 goals this evening, as will Ellen Molloy, Sinead Taylor and Aoibheann Clancy in opposition who will be looking to make up for their skipper’s absence.

  • Today however captain Murphy is suspended and so will miss out on the action, with much deliberation on social media in the lead up as to how the home side are to line up to combat the damage.

  • A 2-2 palindrome affair, Megan Smith-Lynch and Aine O’Gorman netted in the first half for United, Wexford digging themselves out of the hole after the interval via Nicola Sinnott and Kylie Murphy.

  • Last time out the 'Girls in Green' did in fact fall victim to the Slaneysiders, the first match of the year that saw them drop points back in series 10.

  • Currently joint top and runners up in the table respectively, a win would be immense for The Youths as it would claw them back within a point of both Peas and Shelbourne, while a loss for James O’Callaghans’ outfit would severely dash their title hopes and send the Reds ecstatic.

  • The third time the pair come to blows this season, the fixture always yields fireworks and tension, this series 20 meet no different.

  • Wexford Youths may have monumental new billboards all over town but whether they will be the bell of the ball in this WNL titan clash against Peamount United in Ferrycarrig Park this evening remains to be seen (6:30pm).
