Farrell earns lucky Wexford share of spoils

A late goal from debutant Colm Farrell handed Wexford a crucial share of the points with Dublin in this Allianz Division 1B NHL game at Wexford Park yesterday.

Even this late cameo did not take from another disappointing display from the Model County, who having got level one minute into additional time almost lost the game when they handed Dublin midfielder Simon Lambert a last gasp opportunity of snatching a victory. However, the tall midfielder’s 70 seventy metre effort from in front of the posts drifted slightly to the right and wide.

So, Dublin had a chance of taking both points, but they still be happy to escape with a draw, having played the closing 15 minutes with 14 players, attacker Peadar Carton been sent off on a second yellow for a challenge on Wexford’s Michael Doyle.
