Waltz for Wicklow

Ashtown Lane side impress enroute to quarter-finals

at Ashtown Lane

at 52–3 to the home side.

Wicklow have been drawn away to Ballyclare in in the quarter-finals on Saturday, November 10 at 2.30pm at the Cloughan.

This was an outstanding performance by a team that is coming into some real form. The forwards were powerful in attack and ruthless in defence. The backs looked accurate, slick and dangerous. There was real impact from the bench. Wicklow won’t get carried away by the score line, as the Kilfeacle heads dropped in the last 20 minutes. They know there will be far sterner tests to come in the nextfewweeks.

Next Saturday is a massive game for the club with the visit of near neighbours Gorey to AshtownLane.

Gorey and Wicklow are locked together in joint second place in the Leinster League one point behind Enniscorthy. Although it is early in the season, the result of this game is likely to have a big impact on which team goes on to challenge for the Leinster League title.

A resurgent Gorey will bring a big crowd to Ashtown Lane. Wicklow will need to be at their very best to come away with a result. Kick off for the seconds is at 1pm with the firsts at the earlier time of 2.30pm.

The following week is the All Ireland Cup quarter-final with a trip to Donnybrook to face Bective on the 4G pitch of Energia Park on November 17. Exciting times!
