Sligo hold Model charge over Wexford at Markievicz Park

Sligo 2-10, Wexford 1-8:

Despite playing with 14 men from the 33rd minute, when Pat Hughes was red-carded following a second booking, Niall Carew’s charges held on, as Mark Breheny’s goal after 61 minutes kept Wexford at arm’s length.

The home side, who never trailed, went seven points clear, 1-5 to 0-1, by the 22nd minute and seemed on course for a comfortable win after their campaign’s top scorer, Adrian Marren, converted a penalty.
