ONE STEP REMAINS!
Wicklow will face Enniscorthy in Towns final
WICKLOW RFC are back in the Bank of Ireland Provincial Towns Cup final after their victory over Longford in Naas last weekend.
Standing in their way of only a second ever Towns Cup crown will be the opponents they defeated to record their maiden victory in Ashbourne in 2016 and it promises to be a huge game for Niall Earls’ men.
While Wicklow played very well at times on Sunday, the team feel that there is still a lot of room for improvement in their game. If they harbour hopes of lifting the venerable old trophy, there will need to be. The game takes place in Navan RFC on Sunday, April 28.
Enniscorthy have looked a class apart this season and are sailing through the AIL qualifiers.
They travelled to Instonians and comfortably beat the Ulster champions on their home patch. They demolished the Munster champions Clonmel 46–5 last weekend and travel to Connemara to finish the job this weekend. The Wexfordmen will be plying their trade in the AIL next season and are a superb team.
Wicklow will go to Navan as underdogs but they wont fear Enniscorthy.
Niall Earls’ men beat the Slaneysiders earlier in the season in what was their only loss in the entire campaign.
The two teams have had fantastic battles over the last few years but Wicklow know, in their hearts, on the day, if they get it right, they can beat them.
‘Preparations start now,’ said a Wicklow RFC spokesperson. ‘The whole club and the whole town will get behind this team. We will bring a big crowd to Navan.
‘The coaches and managers will leave no stone unturned to get things right. After that it is up to the players. One thing is certain, they will leave nothing on the pitch. An exciting few weeks lie ahead.’
