A six point win in Markievicz today that really should have been closer to twenty. One Sligo got on top as the first half wore on it was an impressive display right up to the Wexford sending off with about 15 mins to go, up 1-16 to 1-3 and with a chance to really push on and build up a score difference in case it might be needed, and while McEntee used the opportunity to give lads a run which is fair enough, his switch in the FB line cost us 1-1 within minutes of being made, and the general sloppiness never really went away til the end, another soft goal conceded in injury time and then Wexford hit the post right at the death. Fortunately two other subs Spillane and Walsh made their impact with some fine runs and scores otherwise it could have been a mortifying outcome. A good win to get despite that given how Wexford had done in recent games, but the ending does leave a bad taste. However Leitrim losing today means that promotion is in our hands, win both the remaining games and we're up and even a draw in Carrick will do if they can get the win in Carlow in two weeks.
After a poor start McConville seems to be getting a tune out of Wicklow, two good wins in a row now. But they'll need Leitrim to do them a favour in either of the last two games.
