Match at the weekend in Bray. SF v Longford. That should be a good test n Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 2003 - 06/01/2026 11:47:55 2650019 Link 0 |

I have heard that the county u17 football management has changed. I was told why, but I would like to hear other opinions. This can't be good. This particular squad has been worked on for a while and was considered above average. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 2003 - 08/01/2026 10:02:31 2650236 Link 0 |

No. I wasn't paying much attention to the convention unfortunately. I'm talking about the reason that people working for 2 years with some of these young fellows walked away. . This is supposed to be a promising group. I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in the new set up.

What was the reason(s) they removed themselves?

I'm told they applied for some more funding but there was no spares so, walked. Seems like the senior team is gobbling up the lions share. If we don't look after our minors, we won't have decent seniors - but, what's new here?

An improved performance and a good win by our senior footballers against Longford. Much improved start to the game. If evidence was needed as to how to win games, it was in this game. Goals plus three quick consecutive two-pointers in the second half killed off the game and saw the team win by eleven points. Question for other observers: is Mark Jackson our most consistent two-point option? If so, I'd be concerned when we play tougher opposition in the league. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2151 - 11/01/2026 16:43:27 2650673 Link 0 |

Couldnt make the game but followed it on x. A good win and each win inspires confidence and raises morale and comradery within the panel...I know posters will say its only the O Byrne shield but every win is important and it gives Oisin a chance to try out different combinations and players in a competitive setting. What impressed me most was the greater spread of scorers, the success at the 2 pointers and the movement of players off the ball. It is quite some time since we scored 3 16 against any team so maybe there is a general improvement. I think the game against Carlow in the league is essentially a 4 pointer and whoever loses that i believe will lose out on a chance for promotion. I get the feeling that there is a buzz about the team and preparations at the moment and we wont be caught out cold in the league as we were against London last year. Looking forward to friday night but im sure we wont learn much as both sides will not want to show their hand before the acid test in Netwatch a few weeks later. Neverthe less a win would set us up nicely for the league. Anyone know where the match is ? .. Optimisticobserver (Wicklow) - Posts: 139 - 11/01/2026 19:21:36 2650693 Link 0 |
