Wicklow 1-10, Fermanagh 2-07
Wicklow substitute Oisin McGraynor salvaged a point for the home side in the Allianz National Football League Division 3 clash with Fermanagh in a game dominated by a blustery wind in Aughrim that caused havoc for both sides over the course of the 70 minutes. With both teams badly needing a win after their opening day defeats to Westmeath and Antrim, it was wind-assisted Fermanagh who looked like they were in a very strong position when goals from Conall Jones and Sean Quigley helped the visitors to a 2-4 to 0-2 lead at the break while they were also guilty of leaving at least two other goal chances behind them. With Colin Kelly springing Kevin Quinn off the bench after the break, a long 35 minutes looked on offer from Fermanagh and they pushed ahead by 2-6 to 0-3 in the opening seven minutes as Wicklow really struggled to break down their disciplined defence. But Dean Healy’s goal after 23 minutes gave the Garden County a massive boost and further points from Eoin D’Arcy, Healy and Andy Maher left the sides level after 31 minutes. Back came Fermanagh and a Gary McKenna point looked to have sealed a precious victory away from home but up stepped Oisin McGraynor with a late free to secure a share of the spoils for Colin Kelly’s men.
