Conditions were perfect for rubgy and our captain elected to play down hill for the first half.Gorey were out of the trap very fast and putting Wexford on the back foot. Wexford intercepted a Gorey move and grounded under the posts. Outhalf Matt Doyle converted.Gorey responded immediately and scored in the corner from a lovely worked backs try.
More Gorey pressure but then our forwards bagan to take control.A good ball was produced for first centre Jack Stafford to kick cross field to put Kevin Mahoney over in the corner.
It was now a forwards battle;boths side driving,rucking and mauling.Then scrum-half Andrew Maguire made a half break, the pack followed out and scored a push-over try ,last to surface was Luke Lacey.Score at half time 5 --17 .
Wexford started where they left off Matt Doyle gave a glorious pass to Joe O'Connor who ran through the Gorey defence to touch down Luke Lacey converted .Then all went wrong wexford conceeded 3 trys . Ball handling and over elaboration to the fore.
Anyway the game was tied at 24 --24 and Gorey had an acute angle conversion which the kicker duely converted to win 26--24.
