Allianz Football League Division Four

Wexford 2-17 (2-0-17) Waterford 0-11 (0-2-7)

Limerick 2-21 (2-1-19) Tipperary 3-8 (3-1-16)

Wexford are still in complete control of Division Four of the Allianz League after they easily overcame their Déise neighbours in Dungarvan tonight.

Tom Byrne, Eoghan Nolan, Eoin Porter and Mark Rossiter all had points on the board inside the opening three minutes, and while Jason Curry hit back with a two-pointer for Waterford, Rossiter hit the net in the 12th minute and already John Hegarty’s side looked like they could win at their ease.

Waterford’s purple patch came at the start of the second half as they cut the nine-point interval lead back to five, but Kevin O’Grady steadied the Wexford ship with a point, and they kept Waterford at arm’s length before clinching their win through a Seán Ryan goal with a little over five minutes to play.

Eleven players got on the scoresheet for Wexford, who will play another local derby next weekend when their rescheduled home fixture against Wicklow takes place.

Second place met third in Rathkeale with Tipperary making the short trip west to take on Limerick, but it was a fruitless trip for the Premier County, who were outscored by 1-7 to 0-1 after Michael Freaney’s goal left them just a point adrift 11 minutes into the second half.

A Seán O’Connor penalty and the first of Freaney’s two green flags meant that Tipp led by three points with six minutes gone, and even after Emmet Rigter hit the net for the Treaty men, a Cian Smith two pointer nudged the visitors back into the lead.

It was nip and tuck until a run of three points in a row before half time, two from James Naughton and another from Darragh Ó Siochrú, put a little bit of daylight between the sides.

Freaney finding the net early in the second half was another lifeline, but this time Limerick powered on and didn’t look back, getting excellent contributions of their bench from Tommy Childs (0-2), Peter Nash (a goal) and a point each from Danny Neville and Tadhg Ó Siochrú.
