Down play Wicklow in the third round of the Senior Football Championship Qualifiers at Aughrim on Saturday July 18th @ 3:00 PM.
Down manager Ross Carr has named the same team that lined out in last week’s win over Laois for this clash with Wicklow.
Down Team:
B McVeigh; C McGovern, K McKernan, D Rafferty, T Hanna, P Murphy, C Garvey, D Gordon, S Kearney, A Rogers, C Maginn, B McArdle, B Coulter, P McCumiskey, D Hughes.
Wicklow boss Mick O’Dwyer has also named an unchanged team for this match. It will be the same XV that lined out in last Saturday’s Qualifier defeat of Cavan.
Wicklow Team:
M Travers; C Hyland, D O hAnnaidh, S Kelly; P McWalter, B McGrath, D Hayden; J Stafford, T Walsh; L Glynn, T Hannon, JP Dalton; D Odlum, S Furlong, P Earls
It is the first ever senior championship clash between the counties and Wicklow have never advanced this far in the qualifiers before. Can the Garden County maintain their great run in this year’s Championship? Although many would fancy Down to win this encounter, the bookies have Wicklow as slight favorites. I tend to agree with their favorite pick and will go with Micko's men to sneak a win in this match.
