Oisín McConville cut a frustrated figure after Wicklow came within a whisker recording a sensational Leinster SFC quarter-final victory over Dublin.

The Division 4 outfit led midway through the second half in Aughrim, but a late Paddy Small goal helped the hot favourites to escape with a 2-14 to 2-12 victory.

"Definitely we're going to have regrets," said the Wicklow boss, whose side now head for the Tailteann Cup.

"There's going to be a bit more soul-searching. I'm sick of searching my soul at this stage. I'm sure the boys are the same but they have nothing to be down about. Sometimes it goes for you and sometimes it doesn't. It hasn't gone for us yet but it will, it'll turn.

“When the door is not opening, you just have to keep on banging."
