Youths salvage a point against Shels
GREG YIVERTON's goal one minute into additional time saw Wexford Youths mix the bad with the good as they salvaged a point from a dominant Shelboure F.C. side in this Airtricity Division 1 clash at Ferrycarrig Park on Sunday afternoon last. While Wexford Youths will be very happy to have snatched a point, they will be none too pleased with their display which, after a promising opening 45 minutes, deteriorated to such an extent that Shels must still be wondering why they failed to add to their first-half tally given their dominance through the second period.
Serious action in store

Action on Saturday will start at 4 p.m. with a series of races for adults and youths on both quads and bikes.
Double final delight
THEY REALISED it was last chance saloon. Ciara O'Connor had just tapped over the lead free in the first minute of injury time to give Wexford their one-point advantage back in this Gala All-Ireland Intermediate camogie championship semi-final.

Last evening meet fixed for Bettyville
THE LONG, hot summer comes to an end at Bettyville on Friday next with the last evening meeting of the 2010 horse racing season.

CLUBCALL
ENNISCORTHY RUGBY: Enniscorthy 40, Rathdrum 5: Enniscorthy with something of a new-look side easily accounted for home team Rathdrum to win the deferred South East League final of 2010 on Saturday last. This final is normally played in January, but the harsh weather at the start of this year meant that it could not take place.
