Season ticket holders at Ferrycarrig Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Wexford Youths languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Longford Town will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the First Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Drogheda United.
