Conditions for the players were also a problem, with visibility severely restricted, but at the end of the 60 minutes, it was the Wexford champions who deservedly progressed.

Oulart’s second goal, by corner-forward Nicky Kirwan just before half time, proved the crucial score as it enabled Oulart to go in at the break 2-6 to 0-6 ahead.
