Wicklow character delights McConville

Oisín McConville was delighted with the character his Wicklow side showed in coming from eight points down to beat Westmeath in a dramatic Tailteann Cup quarter-final at Aughrim.

The Garden County can now look forward to a semi-final against Limerick at Croke Park on Sunday and McConville has urged them to seize the moment.

"The last 10 minutes, don't ask me to describe what happened. It was end-to-end. We seemed to be clinging on, the Wicklow boss reflected in an interview with RTÉ.

"I think we were eight points down at one stage in the second half and we were playing against the elements. You don't think you're going to come back from that. But we chipped away and chipped away.

"I thought the crowd today got behind us. Our boys responded."

The Armagh legend added: We're here for a reason. We're here on merit. Bonus territory for us is winning the thing and that's the way we have to look at it, because if we don't look at it like that, we'll never win anything."
