31 mins: McCabe’s long throw causes more panic. Harps’ clearance rebounds off Willie Tyrell on the edge of the box and the ball rebounds just over the Harps crossbar. A let-off.
29 mins: Matthew Crossan forces Doyle into a save with a daisy-cutter while, from Gareth Harkin’s corner, Thomas McMonagle heads just over.
27 mins: If the owner of that Mazda causing the obstruction is reading, gone please move yer car!
26 mins: Yellow card for Rob Waters, his first piece of action in a Harps shirt, for a foul on Peter Higgins.
23 mins: It’s 2-0 Wexford. Superb play by Andy Mulligan and his magnificent cross is headed to the net by Furlong for his and Wexford’s second. Wexford 2 Harps 0
20 mins: Wexford tails are clearly up and it takes a fine save by Gallagher, diving away up to his left, to turn a Furlong free-kick over the crossbar.
18 mins: Disaster for Harps as Wexford go in front. Ciaran Gallagher races to the edge of his box and attempts a headed clearance. The ball falls behind the ‘keeper and Danny Furlong finishes. Wexford 1 Harps 0
17 mins: Goalkeeper Graham Doyle gets to a ball into the Wexford box just ahead of the stretching Tagbo
15 mins: Lots of cars with lights on or ‘parked inappropriately’ at Ferrycarrig Park tonight…So the announcer informs us for the umpteenth time.
14 mins: Matthew Crossan with a hit-and-hope from 20 yards comes to nothing after Harps recycle possession to create the opening.
8 mins: The long throw-ins from Craig McCabe have caused Harps some panic early on, but as yet there have been no chances for either side.
6 mins: The suspension tonight means that it’ll be the first game in which Josh Mailey won’t feature, either from the start or off the bench. Ciaran Gallagher, who made his 150th Harps appearance last week, starts tonight following the death of his paternal grandmother earlier today. Gallagher, who has kept 13 clean sheets this season, is now the only player to feature in all Harps’ games in 2015 – and he’s played every minute, too!
4 mins: Stoppage after a collision between Raymond Foy and Craig Wall, but both players are up and at it again
0 mins: The game has kicked off at Ferrycarrig Park
Wexford Youths: Grahm Doyle; Craig McCabe, Gary Delaney, Lee Grace, Willie Tyrell; Eric Molloy, Shane Dunne, Craig Wall, Andy Mulligan; Peter Higgins, Danny Furlong. Subs: Ryan Delaney, Conor Whittle, John Pere, Conor English, Chris Kenny, Jimmy Darmody, Gavin Dowling.
Finn Harps: Ciaran Gallagher; Matthew Crossan, Thomas McMonagle, Keith Cowan, Ciaran Coll; Wilfried Tagbo, Michael Funston, Raymond Foy, Gareth Harkin; Rob Waters, Nathan Boyle. Subs: Kevin McHugh, Kieran McDaid, Tony McNamee, Tommy Lee McCarron, Oisin Hassett, Conor Keedy, Ata Ozbay.
Ollie Horgan, the Finn Harps manager, has given a first-team debut to Rob Waters, who was signed last week having been released by Cobh Ramblers. Waters could be joined by another first-time at some stage this evening as Ata Ozbay is among the substitutes.
Aside Waters, Horgan was forced to plan without the suspended Damien McNulty and Josh Mailey, with the latter having been sent off in last Friday’s 0-0 draw against Athlone Town at Croke Park. Thomas McMonagle served his own one-match ban that night and returns at Ferrycarrig Park tonight.
Michael Funston replaces Tony McNamee in midfield, so there’s three changes in all for the Ballybofey side.
Wexford Youths boss Shane Keegan has made four changes from the XI that drew scoreless at Tolka Park against Shelbourne on Friday last. Paul Cahillane, Ryan Delaney and Conor Whittle have dropped to the bench, with Willie Tyrell, Shane Dunne and Eric Molloy back in.
