Replying To wicklowsupport: "Best of luck to all the various Wicklow GAA teams as they embark on their summer adventure in their various competitions. An interesting couple of months ahead. I'll be interested to see how our u-20 team fares against Louth this evening in the first round of the Leinster championship. I don't know much about the current squad. I felt that our team last year could get to the provincial final and even win it but fell to a tough defeat against Louth. Underage can be hard to gauge as players come and go even more than at senior level. I'm hoping that our senior team can build on their recent league form especially towards the end of the campaign and that they can overcome Longford this weekend. Longford will be confident they can win this game due to our inconsistencies and the fact that Longford are at home. It would be great to get a win like last year against Westmeath. For me, the most important competitions from Wicklow footballers' perspective is the national football league which has been a disappointment as we didn't get promoted from division 4, the Tailteann cup which is a competition we can compete in and have a realistic chance of winning and finally the Leinster championship which is great that we get to play teams ranked above us and doesn't have the pressure of the other two as we aren't going to win it out so we can get to compete in the competition without the pressure. Anyway, best of luck to all, hopefully we'll have something to cheer about beginning this evening."
Longford here. Not in the least bit confident. Hopeful yes, but sadly not confident.
