Incredible scenes as Wexford Youths clinch title & reach the top-flight for first time

Danny Furlong, Eric Molloy and Aiden Keenan all scored on a historic night for the south-east.

WEXFORD YOUTHS WILL play top-flight football for the very first time next year after claiming the First Division title with a 3-0 victory at home to Athlone Town.

Heading into the game, Shane Keegan’s side knew that if they matched Finn Harps’ score against UCD, they’d clinch the championship.

They were forced to wait for a breakthrough though – Danny Furlong netting the opener with 27 minutes left. It was a record-breaking 28th goal of the season for the attacker.

Eric Molloy got his name on the score-sheet with less than ten minutes to go before Aiden Keenan grabbed a third in injury time.

    Played well. A goal and assist for Mainoo is very good news.

    Decent win. Played well. Garnacho will be a big loss if they sell him.

    Great win but more importantly was a good controlled performance.

    Was it my eyes or did the caption on Premier Sports keep saying it was FC Basel that United were playing?
