Wexford ease past Mervue

Wexford Youths moved third after an impressive victory over Mervue in this Division 1 clash at Ferrycarrig Park last night.

Determined to erase memories of their heavy EA Cup defeat to Cork City earlier in the week, Wexford took a 10th-minute lead. Brian Nolan and Tom Elmes linked up, with Elmes playing a great ball into the path of Dean Broaders, who shot low to the corner of the net.

Mervue then enjoyed a period of dominance forcing three corners, but were unable to break down the home side’s back four.
