It was just after the 15th minute when tonight’s hosts opened the scoring. Galway were starting to turn the screw, and their first corner of the game was taken short, Bastian Hery had a cross-shot that caused mayhem in the Wexford box and after a couple deflections, Rob Manley was there to poke home to give the Tribesmen the lead.

The away side did not stay behind for long. Wexford turned over the ball in midfield and the two Conor’s linked up with some clever play including a backheel pass to open space, and within seconds the Youths were 3v2 going forward. Conor Barry picked up the ball at the edge of the box and with his right foot calmly placed it in the bottom corner to equalise. 

And within a few minutes, the Youths had turned the game on its head completely, Wexford took the lead shortly after the 21st minute. Conor Barry involved once again, his right-footed corner bouncing around the penalty area, bouncing off a United centre-back and in the bottom left corner, nothing Kearns could do about it.

Walsh managed to block Alex Moody’s attempted clearance from the box, and finally, with a bit of luck the ball ricocheted his way and he smashed home in the net to level the game.
