Leighton Glynn believes Wicklow have nothing to fear in Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final against Westmeath. Mick O'Dwyer's Division 4 side shocked Kildare just over a year ago, and will be aiming to perform a similar giant-killing act against another Division 1 outfit in Tullamore. International Rules star Glynn explains that confidence has been growing in the Garden County ever since their exciting first round win over Longford. "It was hugely important that we won that Longford game," the Wicklow captain said. "Not just to get through to the next round. It was about playing well as a team again. And we did play well, went seven points up, before letting Longford back into it. They levelled up, but then I think we showed a good bit of character the way we got the scores again, at the right time. "It was just a massive relief to have come through. A one or two-point victory in those games you'll always take. Especially when it's putting you through to a quarter-final. So we'd be quietly confident about Sunday. If we can play as well as we did for that 20-minute spell in the second half against Longford I think we'll put it up to any team." The former dual star revealed that he is well settled at centre forward, despite first making his name as a half back. "I probably do prefer playing in the forwards, rather than the backs. Like anyone else really, I play where I'm put. The captaincy thing is not really any different though. You still do your own thing. We all know what we have to do. Micko has us well drilled on that front." Tweet
