Battling Faithful have to take defeat on the Chin

OFFALY UNDONE BY LATE HEROICS FROM MODEL

- BRENDAN FURLONG

AN injury-time Conor McDonald point and Lee Chin goal saw Wexford break Offaly hearts in Chadwicks Wexford Park yesterday.

Offaly led the way when Dan Ravenhill pointed two early frees before Brian Duignan shook off several challenges then beat Mark Fanning in the home goal with a fine finish to leave his side leading 1-2 to 0-0.

Chin hit Wexford’s opening score and Kevin Foley showed all his skill to control a ball inside before finishing to the net, reducing the deficit to 1-3 to 1-1.
