Wexford FC vs Finn Harps

Wexford FC make the long road north for this SSE Airtricity League First Division fixture against Finn Harps at Finn Park in Ballybofey, Co. Donegal. It is a Friday night under lights - kick-off at 19:45 - and for supporter-owned Wexford FC it represents the kind of tough away day that defines a promotion push. If you are a Wexford supporter with the evening free and the appetite for a cross-country trip, this is a proper League of Ireland away experience.

What to expect

Finn Park is one of Irish football’s more atmospheric grounds - compact, three-sided, and vocal when the home support is up for it. The covered “Shed” stand on the Navenny Road side holds just over 1,500, the open “Town End” terrace fits nearly 1,750, and the “Gantry” slope behind gives a broad view of proceedings. The ground has a safe capacity of around 4,200 and retains the feel of a genuine football venue rather than a modern bowl. Expect loud local support: Finn Harps are a community club in Donegal and their fans take the game seriously.

Wexford FC go into this one in decent form in the First Division and already beat Finn Harps 2-0 earlier in the 2026 campaign. A win here would keep them in contention for promotion, so the travelling supporters will have plenty to cheer for. First Division football in Ireland is close and physical - there are no easy away points, and the distance involved means the Wexford contingent making the trip will be a committed bunch.

Getting there

Ballybofey is in the north-west of Co. Donegal, roughly 330 km from Wexford town by road. The direct drive via the N3/M3 and N15 takes around three and a half to four hours depending on traffic. Wexford FC typically arrange supporters buses for away fixtures - check the club website at wexfordfc.ie or their social media for travel details closer to the date.

There is no practical public transport link for an evening kick-off over that distance, so the supporters bus is by far the better option if one is running. Parking is available near Finn Park in Ballybofey town.

While you’re in Wexford

If you are planning the trip around a visit to the south-east rather than the away end, Wexford town and its coastline are well worth a day or two of your time before heading north. There is more to see in Wexford and across Co. Wexford.
