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.
