Replying To stringfellohawk: "Well done to all 6 players who made it onto the Tailtean team of the year, richly deserved for all" I agree. Well done to Malachy Stone, Eoin Murtagh, Dean Healy, Padraig O'Toole, Oisin McGraynor and Kevin Quinn. Malachy Stone and Dean Healy are winning awards for the second year. Six players on the Tailteann Cup team of the year is a good representation. I'm delighted for Dean Healy who is getting to enjoy these types of awards and winning a cup in Croke Park after so many years putting in top class performances for the county without much recognition or rewards. I hope these players can enjoy tonight and that they can kick on and achieve as much next season which will be more difficult test but that's a conversation for another day. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2292 - 16/10/2026 13:59:05 2697544 Link
Replying To Albundy19: "Congratulations to An Tochar BUT! That's the worst county final display by a management and squad in Wicklow championship History (at least in the last 40 years). A few of the teams that Roundwood played and scrapped over would have given a better final performance and definitely wouldn't have rolled over as easy as that Blessington outfit." If your analysis is correct then it doesn't say much for the clubs they defeated. I agree that Blessington crumbled in the second half but on the other hand, An Tóchar were excellent. In recent years, I've accused them of not producing on the big occasions so I'm reluctant to take from their performance when they do produce what people expect from them. We'll find out how good Dunlavin and An Tóchar perform in the Leinster club championship which will allow us to reassess if they are outstanding teams or if they are the best of an average lot. I hope they can proved it is the former. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2292 - 16/10/2026 14:03:02 2697545 Link

There is a rumour doing the rounds that the entire Blessington management team resigned during the week. True or false, I have no idea.
