Wexford lost 2-0 at the RSC on Saturday night to an improving Waterford side. Results have been disappointing for Damian Locke’s men, but he still thinks it’s only a matter of time before things begin to improve.
Damian Locke told us, “I felt Saturday was a game of two halves. Waterford played well in the first half and deserved their 1-0 lead at half-time.”
“I thought we took the game to them in the second half without getting the break-through as they defended well and their goalkeeper made 2 or 3 good saves.”
“We are disappointed at conceding both goals from our own set pieces but that is something we have already went about rectifying in training last night.”
You can check out the highlights here;
Two young players were introduced from the bench against Waterford, 18 year-old midfielder Craig Hayes, and 17 year-old striker Eoin Porter.
We spoke to Damian about both youngsters, “Both Eoin Porter and Craig Hayes have been apart of our underage set up over the last number of years. Eoin played a hand full of first team games with Wexford Youths last season in the Premier Division, and is joining back in with the first team squad on the back of good performances with U-19s lately.”
“Craig has had a good start to the season considering it’s his first year in senior football. He is improving weekly. We are very happy with both lads as well as many other underage players we have in our current squad who we see featuring over the next few weeks.”
The next two league games will be hugely important for Wexford, as they face a trip to Dublin to face Shelbourne, before a home game against Longford Town.

Hi, if you would like to write your articles with us and use our website as a platform to empower your journalistic name out there- then do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to help! We could set you up with your own log-in and your articles will be fully credited. If you would like to link back to your own blog, then that would be no hassle either.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the message.
When you say articles, are you specifically talking about pieces on Wexford FC and their players or other pieces also?
Cheers,
Gerard
Hi Gerald,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, specifically speaking about Wexford FC/ sport in Wexford.
Cheers.

Ok. Yeah might be interested. How would I go about that? Would articles only be published with you, or could I also put them on our site too? We don’t do pieces every week, but would fairly regularly.
Gerard
Hi Gerard, thanks for the quick reply. If you drop us an email at wexfordweekly@gmail.com we can add you to our site then as a writer and you can write away with your name credited. As long as they are published on our site first, we won’t say anything. They will also be published on our FB & Twitter pages which have a strong following.
Hi guys,
The fact that I can’t publish on my own site would be a issue I’m afraid. As regards social media following, our own following would be quite similar so there wouldn’t be much benefit. I’d have no issue with you using our Wexford pieces with credit to us including a link back to us for all League of Ireland stories, but at the minute I don’t want to compromise my own site. So for the moment I’ll decline your offer. However I do appreciate you asking 😬
Many thanks,
Gerard
No problem Gerard, completely understandable. The offer is always there anyway. Kind regards, WW
