Congratulations to Dean Healy who is the County Wicklow Football Captain for 2019.

It was a massive disappointment for Wicklow to loose to Laois by a single point  in the O'Byrne Cup having lead at half time in Bray Wicklow 2-04 Laois 0-06. It finished with the full time score Wicklow 2-10 Laois 2-11. The team showed a huge improvement this week and there can only be positives drawn from it. Well done to our Club man Dean Healy who captained the team in a man of the match performance.

 

It has been announced that Wicklow GAA and Wicklow Ladies Football following discussions between all parties, have agreed that the Lidl NFL match v Down LGFA on Sunday, 10th February will form part of a double bill in our GAA county grounds Aughrim with a throw in of 12 o’clock and the Allianz GAA NFL Match v Limerick following at 2pm (Irish weather permitting). This is the first time a double bill featuring our Ladies and Men’s football teams has been agreed and sanctioned and is surely a sign of the cooperation which now exists between our two sporting bodies.

 

St Patrick's GAA Ladies committee are having an adult players meeting on Saturday 26th January at 6pm in the clubhouse to discuss the year ahead.
