Davy Fitzgerald has questioned the amount of injury-time played by referee Fergal Horgan at Parnell Park yesterday.

Fitzgerald's Wexford charges were leading by three points when Sean Moran fired a free to the net in the seventh minute of stoppage-time to earn Dublin an unlikely share of the spoils.

“I thought we showed tremendous character there in the second half, the way we played for around 20 minutes I don’t think any team would catch us if we played with that intensity and moved the ball around as we did. But it was a killer to get caught in the end, we’d done enough to see that out," the Model County manager reflected in the Irish Daily Mirror.

“The free wasn’t hit well. It hit the ground and if you do hit the ground anything is liable to happen. It’s fair tough from our side of things. It was gone over 40 minutes I think. I didn’t know what another free against David Dunne was given for either. In fairness, Fergal did a decent job reffing the game, but I do find it hard to find where five minutes came from after that second half. I thought maybe three, or three and a bit.”
