Wexford Youths 0 Killester United 0: FIRST DIVISION side Wexford Youths FC and AUL side Killester United will meet again in a replay after a less than inspiring goalless draw at Ferrycarrig Park last night.

Chances were at a premium throughout the game in an uneventful first half. The homes side's best effort of the opening period was a Danny Furlong volley that went wide of Matthew Bligh's upright after the Wexford striker got on the end of a Kyle Dempsey cross. Kenneth Curley had a tame shot saved after 34 minutes for the visitors, while Ian Graham and Jason Marks both headed off target from corner kicks.

Killester shaded the second half and the Dublin junior league side almost grabbed a dramatic winner in the 80th minute. Jason Marks played a long ball over the top of the Wexford defence and Alan Connor's effort beat home goalkeeper Jason Russell but came off the far post before being cleared.
