Hard luck to Wicklow, was hoping you'd win it. And you ran them close.

Hard luck jesus it would have being great to see ya dump out the Dubs but nevertheless that should give the county some boost in confidence.

We kicked it away, I think. Couldn't make the game but from reports, 14/16 wides, 8 in the second half. Our goalie, missed 5/6 2 pointer frees, normally a gimme for him. There always seems to have been a monkey on our backs over the decades. When we have a big animal wounded, we can never seem to be able to finish them off. And the Dubs were there yesterday for the taking, whatever slant they try to put on it.

The conditions were set up for Wicklow to beat them. Forget the pats on the head for pushing them close. The chance to beat them might not come again for 40 years
