The position was made permanent in 1997. It can be googled.

What are our chances in Sunday? stringfellohawk (Wicklow) - Posts: 166 - 05/05/2026 17:34:45 2671179 Link 0 |

Depends which Wicklow side turns up. A tentative win for the lads. More in hope than confidence.

I see the Meath minors continued on their steamrolling way again last night. They scored 6 23 against Laois , 6 23 against us and 5 16 against Offaly. It must be a record for any gaelic team at any level Optimisticobserver (Wicklow) - Posts: 150 - 06/05/2026 11:36:04 2671255 Link 0 |

Be interesting to see what kind of crowd shows up on Sunday. Big turnout for the Dubs and the lads seemed to react well to it but how many were just there for the occasion or how many will stick with the lads now. In recent years we've done well against laois and have always played well in portlaoise mickosarmy (Wicklow) - Posts: 3 - 06/05/2026 11:36:55 2671256 Link 0 |

Best of luck to Wicklow footballer against Laois at the weekend. Laois will be favourites ahead of the game as they are at home, played at a higher level in the league and performed well against Kildare after hammering Offaly in their first championship game. We missed out on promotion, hammered Carlow before failing to take a golden opportunity to beat Dublin who are now favourites to win the Leinster title! On paper I think this game is 50:50 contest. The big questions are - which version of Wicklow will turn up on Sunday? And if the team can get themselves into a winning position, can they get across the line and close out a game against a team like Laois? wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2217 - 06/05/2026 12:18:06 2671267 Link 0 |

I was at the Wicklow v Laois game in Aughrim last year and Wicklow were miles better. Having just run Dublin close (probably should have won), we should be expected to get a result. Bowl (Wicklow) - Posts: 8 - 07/05/2026 23:57:23 2671526 Link 0 |

No more than I expected really. A battling second half but the damage was done in the first half. The inconsistency of this team is hard to understand. The main aim this year was the league and our league form underlined our inconsistency. I think there is another round or something in this Tailteann but the year has been agonising enough already. We don't need any more "nearlys".

Worst effort of the year so far, very difficult to watch, struggled all over the pitch stringfellohawk (Wicklow) - Posts: 166 - 10/05/2026 19:32:56 2672086 Link 1 |

History repeats itself. It is nigh on impossible to achieve promotion or win the Tailteann cup if the team can't string two decent performances- results together. I'm reluctant to blame management in this instance as I don't think another manager would improve what is wrong and playing out over the last couple of seasons. Once again it was left to Dean Healy yesterday to drive the team and provide leadership. I don't know who will provide this when he retires. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2217 - 11/05/2026 11:20:14 2672261 Link 0 |

Hurlers and Footballers with two poor results this weekend InterestWicklow (Wicklow) - Posts: 15 - 11/05/2026 16:44:50 2672406 Link 0 |

Whats peoples opinion on the draw?? I think the fact it's in aughrim is a huge boost as the lads have played well there this year. Also limerick is a team we're use to over the last few years and I'd expect the lads to bounce back and try avenge the semi-final defeat last year. Thoughts???? mickosarmy (Wicklow) - Posts: 3 - 13/05/2026 09:22:55 2672720 Link 0 |

In my opinion, the lads should be well capable of winning the Limerick game. Last year they had Limerick beaten twice and let them off the hook. But, as we keep saying on here, it depends which Wicklow team turns up on the day. This team has 2 ways of playing - or not playing, as the case might be. I'd like to think they will win, but that's more in hope than confidence.

As with every match, Mick, it will depend on what team turns up. The best performances I've witnessed from the team this year were predominantly produced in Aughrim so I'd hope home advantage would help us get over Limerick. After a good performance away to Carlow and a goodish performance against Dublin who were playing in division one; the team was very disappointing last Sunday against Laois. Hopefully allowing Limerick back into the game last year will help motivate the players and prevent complacency setting in. The team should've been in the Tailteann cup final last season - is the team as good as last year? I'm not sure. When they play as well as they can, I think they are better but fading in and out of games is killing them. It cost them promotion and it cost them a famous win over Dublin.

Minor team playing New York in Aughrim on Friday! I wouldn't assume this will be a walk. They won't have travelled 5000 miles just for a day out. And they did win Connaught tier 2 (vs London and Leitrim).... liam500 (Wicklow) - Posts: 242 - 13/05/2026 12:07:57 2672764 Link 0 |

Personally I don'r see much benefit to this type of competition. Ok, it gives county players more games but is it improving weaker county team? It doesn't appear that it is. Anyway, best of luck to the team. Any win would be welcome after recent results.
