Wicklow 1-13 Leitrim 0-9

FOLLOWING THE one-point defeat to Clare last week, Mick O’Dwyer’s Wicklow footballers got their league show on the road at Aughrim yesterday.

And it was centre forward Tony Hannon who led the Wicklow charge with 1-4 to his credit, his second-half opportunist goal laying the foundations for the win.
