Trailing by nine points before halftime, Seán Reynolds inspired his side to their first ever win at the grade since the age changed in 2017. Reynolds smashed home 2-2 in the second half and most importantly, the winner, after Cillian Taaffe levelled. Despite the fightback, Wicklow looked to have absolved the turnaround when Louth went down to 14 men.
Joe Prendergast had Wicklow fully in control before the break and then Dan Cooney found the net before the finishing flurry from the hosts. Louth will now take on Kildare after.
