The Youths travel to the Showgrounds for the first time ever this Saturday 4th June to face Sligo Rovers. 

Ellen Molloy bagged her 10th goal of the season in a hard fought 2-1 win over Athlone last weekend. And with 4 goals in 4 games, her performances in May have put her forward for WNL Player of the Month. 

The Youths still remain 7 points from the top. On the same day, a tough game awaits as 1st place Shelbourne face Galway in 4th. 3rd place Athlone also face Bohemians in another key battle. Athlone have failed to beat Bohs in their previous 3 encounters.

Wexford come into this game unbeaten in their last 5, while Sligo on the other hand have 1 win in their last 5. Sligo will feel disappointed not to have won last week against Treaty, after a 0-0 stalemate.

Last time out, Wexford defeated Sligo 2-0 at Ferrycarrig Park in April, with Rebecca Watkins and Ciara Rossiter scoring the goals either side of half time. 

Sligo however have kept a clean sheet in their last two games, against Treaty and Cork. Wexford have conceded 5 goals in their last 3 games, and their last clean sheet came against DLR Waves at the start of May.

Both teams have similar goals scored and goals conceded stats, in home and away fixtures respectively. Sligo have scored 7 and conceded 9 in 5 games at home. While Wexford have scored 9 and conceded 8 in the same number of games away from home. 

An exciting match awaits this weekend in another must win game for the Youths to keep the pressure on Shelbourne.

Kick-off: An earlier kick-off time is coming up for Saturday's visit to Sligo Rovers. The match is set to begin at 12pm.
