Replying To TopDrawer:  "Any Wicklow players in the Sigerson?"
There are some. Not sure of them all but at least 2 were on the TUD team beaten by Queens Wednesday night - Prendergast from Greystones and Fee from Roundwood.

Conor Fee and Joe Prendergast started for TUD the other night, Jack Hardy on the bench for Maynooth. That was it as far as I could see

It's not that anyone disrespects you or your opinions or observations, but the general consensus from the journalists covering the game and even the manager was that we were very lucky to escape with the two points. When your goalkeeper is the leading scorer and a midfielder and 1 forward score from play, that tells its own story. I read that we fluffed 4 goal chances, albeit that the peno came off one of those. I am too old to be going to matches mid winter so I rely on these reporters and people like you for their opinions on games, so please keep it up. . Here's hoping our guys click tomorrow night. We all know that those inside forwards are capable of much more, both those on the pitch and those on the bench. It's good to see young Quinn back in the match day. squad.

A defining game tonight i feel for both teams. Carlow are on a high after their away win while we struggled but never gave up and came away with a win dominated by our free takers over a young Leitrim side. Carlow seem to be in a better position having an important away win against stronger opposition and now with home advantage and some weaker teams facing them in future games. We have tough games ahead including tonight but i feel its not all doom and gloom.
Its a plus to see Quinn and Kirwan back in the subs which will add height, ball catching ability and add more scoring chances in the game. The inclusion of young Nolan is another plus and will add more drive towards goal.
Maybe it was good to get that performance out of the way last weekend as we all know that we find it difficult to put two good performances back to back. We tend to lift our game against Carlow and tonight could be such an occasion. I think the players will have a point to prove and there will be more of a spring in their step. However we know that we need to do some basic things correctly. We must win more of the aerial challenges in midfield. We must win more breaking ball around midfield. Ŵe are poviding goal chances but not converting them. I think we will need 2 tonight to win. We must get the ball in early to give our light forwards breathing space , scoring opportunities and keep Carlow pinned back. We have to get more scores across all our forwards and have a greater spread of scoreŕs. We must assign šome markers to the influential carloŵ players and we must stop the Carlow backs from coming out freely with the ball.
Í think we can lift our game tonight and come away with the spoils. To our supporters, get to Carlow and give your appreciation to the team for all their effort and training on those dark wet nights in Ballinkill. Best wishes to players and management. Come on Wicklow !
