A quite remarkable achievement to go up with two games to spare, and avoid potential banana skins against Tipp and Longford (always hate playing them). Well done to all involved, eight years seems like a lifetime down there. New rules suit us and we are playing great stuff at times, a little run in Leinster and/or an extended run in the Tailteann would cap off the year- on our day, we are good enough to win the latter.

Congrats on the win - and promotion. No more than you deserve. You are building nicely down there and should go well in Div 3.

Congrats to the lads. Great to get promotion. Hopefully push on now and win it out and give Laois a good rattle in the championship pity it's only a week between the final and first round

Well done lads. When was the last time a Wexford football team won silverware?. U21s won Leinster not so long ago and Wexford won two Leinster Junior football titles recently enough.

Probably more recently than a Wexford hurling team. Well done on the promotion. Ye should be competitive in Div. 3, if all the players keep playing!

Well done on promotion. You can be sure there was a lot of goodwill here in Leitrim towards ye after last year. Good luck in Division 3!

At last, we have escaped the jaws of the bargain basement division.
We have now won 5 games on the trot.
We have the highest score for and the lowest score against in the divison so far.
We are the only team in the country who are unbeaten.
The prize, a trip to croker to play for silverwear and we have earned the right to play at a higher level next year.
Tonight they played with a lot of composure and intelegent football. They absorbed with style everything that Wicklow threw at them and scoring 20 points was comendable.
We do however need to find the net more often as the championship is fast aproaching.
Hopefully we can finish with 7 wins from 7.
Tipperary at home and Longford away are games we are well capable of winning so the lads will i am sure want to finish on a high and should'nt take their foot off the gas.
Well done John Hegarty for moulding this team into a formidable unit and congratulations to the panel of players.

Thanks for that, I think the hurt and anger from THAT penalty decision in Carrick last year was one of the motivating factors !!

A great win last night, well done lads. Great to get the job done early.
A decent enough performance, 20 points is a good score any day. Some very good scores, especially the 2 pointers, were the difference.
The dip in performance in the 3rd quarter is slightly concerning, it seems to happen in most of the games and I'm sure it's something the management will be looking at.

big decision for hegerty now, biggest of his term so far, does he try keep momentum going , field same team and win 7 out of 7 or does he give major game time to his panel, which contains some very promising young players that he needs to bring into the frame and push for promotion next year to, championship does not matter as much, big call for him now

He will have to rotate as wexford will face 6 games in 6 weeks. I'd expect them to win division 4 it's a very poor standard at present, wexford are well ahead of the pack. They'll be looking at least a Tailteann semi id imagine.

Congratulations lads on your well deserved promotion ye were robbed by the penalty decision In Carrick last year but dusted yourselves down and made no mistake this time. Hope ye push on in division 3 next year , management and players leaving on masse gave us no chance of competing in division 3 this year but ye have a team capable capable of staying staying up next year at tthe very least.

Won the two Leinster Junior Championships in 2015 & 2016. The U21 Leinster title was 2011.

Last time the senior footballers won something was the Div. 3 title in 2008.

Hopefully we'll have another title by the end of the month!

Great stuff by the lads to win five from five, and be promoted already. Nice to see some good wishes from Leitrim on here too.

I think he can bring in a few without weakening the team too much. Cian Hughes for Brosnan, give Martin O Connor a day off so he doesn't have to fly in, give Coleman gametime. Higgins also if fit. Would be nice to see a few more younger lads get gametime also, but theres no point making too many changes and ruining the structure of the team. Would be better for less younger lads to get better , preferably winning, experience, than more young lads to experience losing together.
I don't think he should change too much of the spine of the team, winning and momentum are very important.
