LAST UPDATE | 2 Jan
A FLOODLIGHT FAILURE forced a late change of venue as Wexford ran out comfortable winners, 4-15 to 2-12, over Wicklow in their O’Byrne Cup clash.
The game had been due to throw in at Wexford Park – which only installed floodlights in January 2023 – at 7.30pm but a fault with a generator delayed the start for an initial 15 minutes.
Once the issue couldn’t be rectified a decision was made to switch the venue to Wexford’s centre of excellence in Ferns.
With proceedings underway, the home side didn’t have things their own way and found themselves trailing 1-4 to 0-4 after 16 minutes.
Parity was restored and Wexford finished the half strongly to lead 2-9 to 1-6.
Wicklow were kept at arm’s length and were unable to stop Wexford finishing with a nine-point win.
