Absolute disaster result in the hurling. Maybe we are at our correct level. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2807 - 25/03/2023 15:25:22 2466490 Link
Replying To sponger: "Absolute disaster result in the hurling. Maybe we are at our correct level." Agreed a disaster given how they played up in Donegal a few weeks ago. We probably are at our level at the moment to be honest. Best of luck to the footballers tomorrow...all they can do is concentrate on winning the game and let the chips fall where they will! stringfellohawk (Wicklow) - Posts: 100 - 25/03/2023 15:47:02 2466504 Link
Replying To sponger: "Absolute disaster result in the hurling. Maybe we are at our correct level." Bad result today especially as we beat the same opposition away recently. Despite the disappointment, there's been improvement since casey came back as manager. Just need to build on this year's improvement and move up. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1726 - 25/03/2023 17:11:47 2466528 Link
Best of luck to our footballers today. I hope results go our way. Will this be our third promotion in the last decade if it happens? Fingers crossed. For one day only, Ich bin ein Sligoer. Wicklowman (Wicklow) - Posts: 1133 - 26/03/2023 11:29:41 2466625 Link
The reality is that the difference between 2A and 2B is huge. Meath will steamroller Donegal in the final, go up and then straight back down again. No fault of their own I guess. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2807 - 26/03/2023 12:00:29 2466635 Link
Ah great stuff to get promotion...quite a poor first half performance but dragged it out of the fire in the second half. Having been in Carlow for the first match I didn't think we had any chance of promotion. Onwards and upwards and hoping for a few games in championship/ TC..well done to all involved stringfellohawk (Wicklow) - Posts: 100 - 26/03/2023 14:49:25 2466673 Link
Woeful 1st half performance today. What matter, we are promoted. On the basis of the wins over Laois away and Leitrim at home we just about deserved it. A League Final in Croke Park next Saturday. We don't often get to them. We'll enjoy it. The hard work begins now. 3 seasons in Division 3 in the past decades, 2 relegation seasons. We need to stay there.

Well done to all. I may have broken the record for refreshing the Sligo GAA twitter feed. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2807 - 26/03/2023 15:02:30 2466680 Link
I am happy to eat my words and congrats to all involved in securing promotion. In the first half today it didn't look likely.but we are up. Now to strengthen and stay up. A few more of the U20s and plenty of drive and direction from Oisin and his team and let's see where that takes us over the next few years Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 636 - 26/03/2023 15:12:57 2466682 Link

This is a young bunch of players who will get a boost of confidence that must come with earning promotion. Considering we started the campaign with a draw and a home loss, it's been some turnaround to go through the rest of the campaihn undefeated. We get a shot at revenge next Saturday in Croke Park against Sligo. Well done to everyone involved with the squad. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1726 - 26/03/2023 15:16:31 2466683 Link
Some achievement out of Oisín McConville in his first season with Wicklow, one of the counties in the greater Dublin area that must have decent number of players and resources to build on this success. OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 462 - 26/03/2023 16:41:03 2466748 Link
Congratulations on your promotion great achievement. Best of luck for the rest of the year. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 141 - 26/03/2023 21:04:43 2466911 Link
Well done Wicklow. Back after one year Jack L (None) - Posts: 2991 - 26/03/2023 21:55:27 2466942 Link
Replying To JimmyNail: "Congratulations on your promotion great achievement. Best of luck for the rest of the year." It is tough on Leitrim as ye were in the running for promotion throughout the league. Even throughout the course of yesterday's game with Sligo, Leitrim looked like they would be promoted. Best of luck in the rest of the year, I think based upon the provincial draw, Leitrim have a good chance of getting to the provincial final so ye have a lot to play for, the rest of the year. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1726 - 27/03/2023 11:06:17 2466992 Link
