Big name or outside coach?,there is definitely talent coming through the under age setup in the village but that may take a year or two to influence their senior team.

Some really good games in the 19s championships ,I think the C championship is a poor standard and it's shocking to see the County town st pats not even making a county final in that grade. The B and C were very competitive with AGB by far the strongest squad in the county, the top 4 teams in the B and the bottom 5 teams in the A would all be on a par. On the whole a very enjoyable few weeks football.

I'll second all that. A great game of football. In my opinion, it was AGBs experience, going for 3 in a row that was the difference in the end. They probably handled the wind better as well. All in all, a good day for Wicklow football.

"Against the odds" do you know the population of Arklow and they were also going for 3 in a row.

I was at both games. The earlier game, AGB were maybe 4 players short - defenders. I did say at the time that if these teams met in the final, there could be a different result. As a friend of mine pointed out, these 2 teams have been playing each other since the go - games days and there was never much between them. I would imagine that AGB, going for 3 in a row, would be more experienced, which they were., and probably had more players closer to the age limit. They certainly looked and acted physically the stronger. They are worthy champions.
