Wexford League 1; Waterford League  0

Needing only a draw to advance to the quarter final of the Oscar Traynor Cup, the Waterford League failed to achieve their aim when they crashed to a one goal defeat to a strong and powerful Wexford League team at a bitterly cold North End Park on Sunday afternoon.
Team manager Aidan Swift had to make three changes from the team which defeated Kilkenny in Ozier Park in the opening game, and those changes did not help matters, but the Wexford side deserved their victory and a place in the last eight of the competition.
Keith Walsh fell ill on the morning of the match while his Carrick United colleague John Walsh emigrated to Australia.
