Drama at the death Porter downs Dundalk with late try after bruising battle

at Ashtown Lane

Overall it was a mixed performance by the home side, but they showed true grit, determination and ice in the veins to produce that final score when it was desperately needed.

The result keeps Wicklow comfortably in third place with four games remaining. Wicklow have a bye in the first round of the Town Cup which kicks off in two weeks’ time.

A very young Wicklow second team produced an excellent performance to beat a tough Dundalk side.

There were some notable performances from debutants Cormac Murray, Dylan Byrne and Sam Porter amongst others.

Cormac Murray scored a try on his senior debut for Wicklow. Wicklow withheld a desperate last minute attack that saw the ball knocked forward under the Wicklow posts with the last play of the game.

This was an important win for the seconds who will be looking for a strong finish to the league and a good run in the Provincial Seconds Cup.

Next Saturday sees both firsts and seconds travel to Boyne for the next round of the Leinster League. Boyne are bottom of the league and are fighting for survival. Another tricky away fixture for both teams. Kick off is at 1pm and 2.30pm
