SOCCER
Wexford FC picked up a vital three points on the road last night (Friday), as they defeated 3rd placed Cobh Ramblers in the SSE Airtricty League 1st Division.
Calum Flynn scored twice while Mikie Rowe netted a third from the penalty spot as the Purple and Gold side headed back to Ferrycarrig with a 3-1 win.
Wexford now sit sixth in the table with 9 points.
Off the field, and the club issued a statement yesterday (Friday) following the alleged playing of an ineligible player in their opening game of the season versus UCD.
According to the statement, the FAI now claims that an error had occurred, but insists that the fault is not theirs and the onus lies with the club, by forfeiting the game versus UCD and the massive goal difference that goes with it. Wexford FC believe this decision to be unfair and unjust.
The club say they will now seek professional advice on the next steps to protect the club’s stakeholders and in the belief of fair play.
