Historic night beckons as Wexford Youths plot cup final shock

THE biggest day of the club’s two-year existence has dawned for Wexford Youths, who host Derry City in the eircom League Cup final at Ferrycarrig Park this evening (7.30pm, Setanta Sports).

The First Division outfit won the right to home advantage in a draw at FAI headquarters, having already done the hard bit by shocking Cork City in the semi-final. But now, the infant club must overcome the acknowledged League Cup kingpins, as Derry go in search of a remarkable fourth straight win in the competition.

With the Candystripes flying high in the Premier Division, Youths boss Mick Wallace knows his team are underdogs.
