Oisín McConville's Wicklow face Leitrim this Saturday in Longford in a preliminary Tailteann Cup quarter-final clash
Little wins. By leading Wicklow to the knock-out stage of the Tailteann Cup, Oisín McConville has matched one of Mick O’Dwyer’s most significant achievements with the county.
Wicklow, meanwhile, have only managed 62 games in that same time frame. Throw in their Tommy Murphy Cup and Tailteann Cup outings and that figure still only rises to 79, just over three championship games a season.Kilkenny hope TJ Reid can reach the heights as Cats chase more Leinster gloryMark Jackson playing a waiting game as possible NFL future hangs in the balance
The really positive thing from the Armagh man’s perspective is that Wicklow, who beat 2022 Tailteann Cup winners Westmeath in the Leinster championship, have shown enough form this year to believe they can go quite a bit further. He agreed at the time that a Tailteann Cup title tilt wasn’t out of the question but acknowledged: “There’s another side to us and we’ve seen that earlier on in the year, we don’t want to go back to that”.
“You turn up the Tuesday night after that and you just wonder, how could we have put in a performance like that?” reflected McConville. “The Laois game after it was different because we should have won that game, we had enough chances to probably win two games that day.
