Wexford push Galway’s title defence off course

Wexford led at the end of a lively first half, thanks to the superiority of Shelly Kehoe and Josie Dwyer at midfield, and Ursula Jacob’s scoring prowess. They could also thank goalkeeper Mags D’Arcy, who deflected Niamh McGrath’s penalty over the crossbar. Helena Jacob’s side flew from the traps in the second half with points from Dwyer and Jacob followed by a Fiona Rochford goal.
Galway showed their mettle when a pass from Brenda Hanney was finished by Orlaith McGrath and Aislinn Connolly levelled soon after.
