Minor footballers overcome Wexford in Leinster MFL

Sat, 20th February 2016

Dublin's minor footballers defeated Wexford 3-15 to 0-8 in Saturday's Leinster MFL Round 2 encounter at a blustery Ferns.

Paddy Christie's side used the wind advantage to telling effect in the second half as they came from 1-3 to 0-8 in arrears to claim the points as they prepare to face Kildare in next Saturday's concluding group game.

A Seán Bugler goal in the 14th minute was a decisive first half score for the Dubs as they battled against the elements with Jamie Myler impressing for the hosts.

Two Conor Hynes frees and a point from play from Cormac Howley were Dublin's other opening half scores as they turned around for the second period two points in arrears.

Dublin settled quickly on the restart with points from Conor Lennon, Rory Clarke and Conor Hynes (free) to edge in front by the 34th minute.

The Dubs finished the game off well with goals from Ross McGarry (52th minute) and Michael Courtney (55th minute).
