Finn Harps have beaten Wexford 1-0 in the SSE Airtricity League First Division at Finn Park this evening.
A fine Sean O’Donnell strike on 17 minutes was enough to take all 3 points in what was a fairly even match.
Darren Murphy’s side managed to hold on for the win as Wexford pressed in the second period – Thomas Oluwa went close to equalising as he hit the upright, while a late stop from Harps’ keeper Conor Walsh ensured the points would be staying in Ballybofey.
In terms of the league table, it’s been an excellent night for Harps as they leapfrog Wexford into 4th.
