First Division wrap: Galway United maintain 10-point cushion

Galway United maintained their 10-point advantage at the top of the First Division with a 2-0 win away to Wexford as the league enters its summer break.

Goals in either half from Conor McCormack and Edward McCarthy saw the Tribesmen enjoy their 17th win from 19 league outings.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 18th minute when McCormack scored directly from a corner, while McCarthy put the game to bed when David Hurley's quick free is played to McCarthy who fired home to double the advantage.

Their nearest challengers remain Waterford who claimed a 3-1 win at home to Bray Wanderers.

The Blues took the lead after just 54 seconds when Dean McMenamy was afforded too much time and space on the edge of the area and his low shot found the bottom corner.

Ben Feeney equalised for the visitors as the sides entered the dressing room on level terms, but Ronan Coughlan’s second half brace – the first just 30 seconds after the restart- meant the three points go to Waterford, with Bray in fifth place on 25 points.

Athlone Town remain in third – on goal difference from Cobh Ramblers after a 1-0 win at bottom side Kerry, Valerij Dolia with the only goal of the game shortly after the half hour mark at Mounthawk Park.

A Damian Duffy nine minutes from time sealed a 3-2 victory for Finn Harps away to struggling Longford Town.

Cristian Magerusan ensured the hosts enjoy a narrow interval lead, but two goals in four minutes, first from Sean O’Donnell and then followed by Ryan Flood in the 58th minute turned the game around.

Beineon O'Brien Whitmarsh’s effort with a quarter of an hour to go looked like it would ensure a share of the spoils, but Duffy would strike to move the Donegal club up to seventh, leapfrogging Town and Treaty United, who
