Friday night football under lights at Ferrycarrig Park - there are few better ways to spend a summer evening in the south-east. Wexford FC host Kerry FC in an SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division fixture on 10 July 2026, with kick-off at 19:45. Both clubs are competing in the League of Ireland’s second tier, and with Wexford sitting in the top half of the table and pushing for a promotion playoff place, there is genuine edge to this home game. This is grassroots League of Ireland football at its most accessible - close to the pitch, affordable, and community-driven. Wexford FC is a supporter-owned club, which tends to give the matchday atmosphere a particular warmth you do not always find at bigger grounds.
The SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division is the second tier of League of Ireland men’s football, sitting directly below the Premier Division. Ten clubs compete across the season, playing each other four times, with promotion to the top flight the prize for the title winners. Wexford FC have been among the more consistent performers in the 2026 campaign, and home matches at Ferrycarrig Park have reflected that - a tight, well-contested ground that suits an organised home side. Kerry FC, based in Tralee and representing Munster football in the League of Ireland structure, have been competitive without hitting their straps in 2026. A Friday night trip to Wexford sets up a lively contest between two sides with something to play for in the second half of the season. Expect a compact, physical match in front of a loyal home support.
Wexford town is well connected by road and rail. From Dublin, the N11/M11 motorway runs directly south to Wexford, roughly a 90-minute drive. Irish Rail operates regular Intercity services from Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston to Wexford, with the journey taking around two hours. The station is in the town centre, from which Ferrycarrig Park is reachable by taxi or a short drive. From Waterford, the N25 links directly into Wexford town in under an hour. Parking is available at the ground; arriving 30 to 40 minutes before kick-off on a weeknight fixture should be straightforward enough, though it is worth checking wexfordfc.ie/location-directions/ for the most current advice.
Wexford town rewards an extra hour before or after the match - the quayside, the old town walls, and the range of pubs and restaurants along the main street are all close together. There is more to see in Wexford and across Co. Wexford.
