Shamrock Rovers prevail as Wexford Youths rue missed chances

Shamrock Rovers 2 Wexford Youths 0

There was little to commend the contest in the first-half with the visitors enjoying the first chance of note in the 11th minute but Ryan Delaney’s header lacked sufficient power to trouble Barry Murphy.

Within two minutes, Maxime Blanchard headed over when well placed from Brandon Miele’s corner-kick and in the 16th minute, Gary McCabe was equally amiss with an ambitious attempt from 30 metres.
