I wouldn't hear as I don't live in the county but I think the county board has to stamp down severely on these type of incidents due to the nature of them. While three years seems severe; I think it is about right because it may be reduced on appeal so they have to give the culprits' years in the event it could be reduced on appeal. Wicklow GAA doesn't need people involved in these types of incidents.

I hear that Frankie Dolan is linked with the vacant Longford job. This would be a blow to Oisins management team. Jack L (None) - Posts: 3246 - 12/08/2026 23:05:28 2689638 Link 0 |

I'd like Frankie to remain within our county's setup but I'm not surprised his services are in demand. Wicklow's forward play has improved under his coaching but he probably want a shot at intercounty management. Hopefully he'll stay but best of luck to him if he moves to Longford. Longford will be hoping they can stay in division three next season which won't be easy as Kildare and Offaly are in the division after relegation.

Results to date have been surpring which makes forecasting winners and losers for today's games tricky, so I won't go there. I think it's looking like Bray and Kiltegan will struggle to make last 8.

Last night results didn't surprise me. I think Kiltegan are unlucky to be drawn in a group with Baltinglass, Blessington and AGB. I felt Blessington played well in their previous game with AGB so I'm not surprised they won last night. Equally, I think St. Pats are an experienced outfit so I'm not surprised they beat Bray who haven't made much of an impact on the senior championship in recent years. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2269 - 15/08/2026 14:15:37 2689988 Link 0 |

After last nights results I think at least one of Bray and Kiltegan are going out. Even if they do sneak into 3rd place in their group, their score difference means one of them will bite the dust, surely. Bowl (Wicklow) - Posts: 27 - 15/08/2026 16:19:14 2689998 Link 0 |

Incredible first half for Greystones against Tinahely. Wicklow's SFC must be one of the least predictable in Ireland. Bowl (Wicklow) - Posts: 27 - 16/08/2026 17:15:46 2690072 Link 0 |

Agreed at this point, only AGB and An Tochair are through to the last 8 - whether as group winners or runner ups. Kiltegan, Bray and Hollywood seem destined to the dreaded drop playoffs. This could change. There are certainly a few "crucial" clashes in 2 weeks between some heavy hitters.

I hear that this new player Laragh have - thinks he is one who played that famous Jun hurling match a few months back - has added a significant new element to their game which could make them hard to beat.

We do this in Wicklow with any new player. He is definitely an addition, however if you have watched Laragh the last year and even moreso this year its David Miley who is the standout and in my opinion is probably the best player at that grade. If you can stop him (easier said than done) you will go a long way to stopping Laragh. They will definitely be in the thick of it come semi final stage. Dunlavin will be there also, Donard havent had much of a test so far but seem to be moving well and you would have Barndarrig and Coolkenno in the mix. I think with the loss of McGraynor to Avondale they just will be a mark off. As for Senior, who knows. It seems to be a lucky dip, I see Pats seem to have got a few bodies back from oversee's which may push them back into contention. Blessington, Eire Og, AGB, An Tochar you can paint with the same brush as you just dont know what your getting from one day to the next. Was surprised by Tinahealy at the weekend, but they are now dangerous as they will be a wounded animal. Baltinglass and Rathnew seem to be two teams in transition but you wouldnt rule against either stumbling there way to a final. If I was taking a punt i'd go an outside shot on Tinehealy but I wouldnt be confident back anyone at this point. footballlover (Wicklow) - Posts: 100 - 17/08/2026 12:54:00 2690176 Link 0 |

Big weekends for Arklow and Roundwood. To come through tight games like that in games where they would previously have fell away when the pressure came on might give them an extra confidence shot. Long way to go yet though. Tinahely result very surprising and the margin of the loss even more a worry for them. Hawkeye2 (Wicklow) - Posts: 198 - 17/08/2026 13:51:05 2690185 Link 0 |
