As a week of mourning draws to a close its time to look back at last Sundays devastating defeat which left players and fans fallen among the rubble scattered around O’Connor park as the final whistle confirmed that once again we had fallen yards from the finish line.
Wicklow will feel like they left it behind them today in Tullamore as Denis Glennon struck an injury time winner to give the Lake County a hard fought win in the second minute of added time. Paul Earls had only seconds before sent the Garden County fans into a frenzy with a late goal to tie up the match.
Wicklow have named their team for Sunday ahead of the crunch showdown with Westmeath in the Leinster Championship Semi Final. This is the team that will be named in the programme but as ever Micko may have a trick up his sleeve and a number of players are trying to shake knocks so there may be changes come 3.30 on Sunday. The team shows two changes from that named to play against Carlow with the injured Pat McWalter replaced by returning All Star nominee Ciaran Hyland and Paddy Dalton replacing Dean Odlum. J.P. Dalton is again named at midfield and will hope to start after a fine display against Carlow when he came on as a sub after a late change seen him replaced by Don Jackman.
An old rivalry will be renewed on Sunday when Wicklow set off on the Championship trail again looking to erase memories of the untidy defeat they suffered against Westmeath last year at the same stage of the competition. Full match preview.
