Minors had a win in a tight game vs Kildare on Wednesday evening in Naas. They are playing Cork tomorrow in this Leinster league. Good to be competitive with the top teams. Im not sure what happened last week against Waterford. We were all over them in the first half.

So, minors win again today. That's a sign of progress. Best of luck to these youngsters as the year progresses

OK, so minors beat Corks second team. Not sure what to make of that. Like you can only beat what is put in front of you. Anyway, they are in a league final in two weeks time which will be good practice for the championship in four weeks.

Finally the lads are starting to look like the side that brought so much cheer last season. Again, the spread of scorers was impressive. I think 11 different players scored ? And 1"2 goals scored. Matt Nolan is back, which is another bonus. Other results went our way too. The team have promotion in their own hands now. 3 tough games to come, and Antrim have finally woken up. That could be the trickiest one. A worry would be any hint of an injury to our goalie. He could possibly be replaced between the sticks, but what about the 2 pointers?? . Well done to all today and please God we can kick on from here.

I've been a critic of our senior footballer's ability to score in the opening rounds of the league, however, they answered my criticism, scoring an impressive 2-26 against London today. Based upon last year's defeat away to London and some of the results London achieved in the early rounds of this year's league; I expected a tough game today but Wicklow began well and never allowed London to gain a foothold in this game. Unfortunately I'm unable to attend games at the moment but following the game, I was impressed by the range of scorers. I'd be interested in hearing the views of any supporters who were at the game today? Today's result moves the team into second place in the table and into the mix for promotion. Hopefully the team can maintain this good form and push on and clinch promotion. I'd also like to commend Wicklow minor footballers who qualified for a league final after defeating Cork. Any Wicklow team who defeats counties like Kildare and Cork in a competition deserves attention. Ok, these teams might be missing some players but both counties have a convertor belt of talent at underage so Wicklow's results are to be commended and I hope this team can go on to win their final and mount a serios challenge for titles in the championship.

Well done to the senior footballers, impressive performance.

Very hard luck to the minor hurlers who lost out to Antrim by a single point. Referee had signaled a draw but after consultation with the umpires, changed his mind to a one point Antrim win. Both teams actually qualify for the Ulster final so a rematch is on, probably next weekend. Hard one to call as both rested their best players today.
