Ferncombe leads Waterford charge

Waterford 4-07 Wicklow 1-12

By Mark Kennedy for the Irish Examiner newspaper

Waterford kept their hopes of making a quick-return to Division 3 alive with this four-point win at Aughrim. Wicklow were struggling after just 15 minutes when they were being hit by a brilliant hat-trick from Waterford’s corner-forward Mark Ferncombe. Before being substituted, Wicklow’s corner-back Jason Bolger had a nightmare trying to police Ferncombe who applied the clinical finish to a move involving Shane Ahearne and lively Gary Hurney for his opening goal.

By the 15th minute he had completed his hat-trick and they led 3-6 to 0-5 at the break. When Shane Ahearne punched to the net the contest was over.

Scorers for Waterford: Mark Ferncombe 3-0, Shane Ahearne 1-0, Patrick Hurney 0-3, Sean Fleming 0-2, Gary Hurney (1f), Conor McGrath 0-1 each.
