Wexford FC Women win first-ever derby against Waterford FC
Wexford People
Wexford emerged victorious from the first-ever south-east derby in the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division in Ferrycarrig Park on Saturday, as goals from Della Doherty and Millie Daly saw them move up to fourth in the table.
Seán Byrne's side are now unbeaten in five, winning four of them, as they look up the table at just Athlone, Shelbourne and Galway United ahead of them. They face a struggling Cork City next and with Galway travelling to Tolka Park, there's every chance a win will move Wexford into third.

Wexford GAA postpone club fixtures for Electric Picnic weekend
Wexford GAA has taken the step to call a gap weekend in their club schedule to coincide with the Electric Picnic music festival at the end of August. The decision was based on the events of last year, when several clubs sought postponements and re-fixtures on account of the festival. The county's relatively early exit from the inter-county championships in hurling and football in 2025 also played a part in the decision. "The CCC based it on what went on on that weekend last year," Wexford chairman John Kenny told the Irish Independent. "We had requests coming in from all over the place and everybody wanting to play their matches on a certain day at a certain time. "So we just had the weekend free in the calendar. Unfortunately, we were out of our inter-county championships earlier than we had hoped this year and we just had the weekend to play with and we said we'd put it in then." Kenny admitted that clubs and mentors were not universally happy with the decision, in light of the recent gap weekend called to coincide with the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann which was held in Wexford this year.
