Allianz Football League Division 4: Wexford 0-15 Waterford 0-14
WEXFORD secured their second victory with a rather uninspired victory over Waterford in 1 free-ridden Division 4 game played at Chadwicks Wexford Park yesterday afternoon.
This game meant little to either side, with the home side on just two points going in and Waterford rock bottom on a single point. And there were some 52 frees during the course of the 70 minutes.
Wexford enjoyed the ideal start, racing into a 0-7 to 0-1 lead inside the opening 13 minutes with Mark Rossiter pointing four frees, as Glen Malone, Kevin O’Grady and Dean O’Toole also found the target, with Daragh Corcoran managing a pointed free in between for the visitors.
With Rossiter, along with Corcoran and Jason Curry, exchanging points it was Wexford who led 0-10 to 0-6 at the interval.
After Kevin O’Grady had extended the lead with a fine point, Waterford through Corcoran, Dermot Ryan and Curry gradually reduced the deficit and by 55 minutes the sides were level.
But Wexford responded, a fine Robie Brooks point moving them two clear. Waterford kept on battling with a Tom O’Connell point leaving the minimum separating the sides once again, but Wexford held firm.
Scorers for Wexford: M Rossiter (0-7 frees); K O’Grady, R Brooks (0-2 each); D O’Toole, G Malone, D Furlong, J Tubritt (0-1 each)
