An eventful game at Ferrycarrig saw two red cards and six goals as Wexford Youths defeated Athlone Town 4-2.



Midfielder Barry O'Mahony gave the visitors the lead after just eight minutes, before Danny Furlong grabbed a 22nd minute equaliser. A hard tackle from Caolon O'Gorman saw Wexford reduced to ten men just before the half hour mark, but the hosts went in 3-1 at the break thanks to goals from Joe Mulcahy and a second from Furlong.



Shane Dunne made it 3-2 with 25 minutes left and Athlone could have been level five minutes later, but Sean Skelly had his spot kick saved by Youths keeper Graham Doyle. Joe Woods picked up a second yellow card as Athlone also finished the game with ten men, before Eric Molloy scored right at the end to give Youths a 4-2 victory.
