Wicklow Minors - The Wicklow lads Dublin on Wed 27 June in Parnell Park with goals from Kevin Quinn and Eoin Darcy which helped Wicklow to a four-point win, 2-6 to 0-8. Those two first-half goals had Wicklow six points to the good at the break, 2-4 to 0-4, and although they only managed two more points in a low-scoring second half, it was enough to see them home.

White squad were away to Kilmac and despite battling right to the end lost by two scores. Special mention to Orlagh Murphy for playing this game with us tonight at very short notice.
