Wexford 0-14 Limerick 1-8: Wexford delivered a strong second-half performance to see off a strong Limerick challenge in this Division 4 NFL game at Innovaate Wexford Park yesterday.

The visitors had the better of the opening 20 minutes, at the end of which they led 0-5 to 0-2, with three Seamus O’Carroll points, along with efforts from Ger Collins, two, and Jamie Lee, with Ciaran Lyng and P. J. Banville responding for the home side.
