Ryan’s strike saw Wexford sensationally win 2-16 to 1-18 and claim promotion from Division 3, leaving Westmeath shattered.
Wexford’s win sees them join Down, who were already promoted before today’s 2-22 to 0-24 defeat to Laois, in the second tier next season.
A Jonathan Lynam goal helped put Westmeath in the driving seat when they were ahead 1-16 to 0-11 after 57 minutes.
Seán Ryan, introduced at half-time, grabbed a goal in response for Wexford, goalkeeper Darragh Brooks nailed two two-pointer frees., and then Ryan proved the hero with that late goal.
