The home side impressed from the outset, with Lee Chin producing a standout first-half performance, leading the charge in front of a vocal home crowd. Crucial goals in the second half from Kevin Foley and Cian Byrne ensured Wexford kept control in a match that saw them dictate proceedings from start to finish.

Minor Hurlers Set for Crucial Clash Against Dublin
Earlier on the same day, Wexford’s minor hurlers will also face Dublin, with their Leinster round-robin fixture set to take place at 12 noon in Chadwicks Wexford Park.
Wexford will be looking to bounce back after suffering an opening-round defeat to Kilkenny, while Dublin also come into the tie after a loss to Galway. With only the top two teams in the group stage advancing directly to the semi-finals, and third and fourth requiring quarter-finals, this fixture takes on major significance for both counties.
Tickets for this match must be purchased online and are not available in stores. U16s are free when accompanied by an adult and do not require a ticket.
It was a disappointing week for Wexford’s football teams at minor and U20 levels as both sides exited their respective Leinster Championships.
The U20 footballers delivered a spirited performance in their quarter-final against Meath in Ashbourne on Wednesday but fell short with a final score of 0-20 to 2-10, drawing their campaign to a close.
Meanwhile, the minor footballers were narrowly beaten by Carlow (2-10 to 1-12) in a closely contested fixture at Samaritans St. Patrick’s Park on Thursday evening. Despite the loss, the team will now move forward to compete in the Tier 3 All-Ireland Championship, beginning on Saturday, May 10th.
