Michael Gray scored St. Anthony's fourth goal in the 59th minute to wrap up a home win against Newtown United in the Jim McLaughlin Cup quarter-final, as they won 4 goals to 3.
The first goal came in the first minute, Louis Thomas sent a free from the sideline on the right just inside his own half into the box, it skimmed off a Newtown defender's head and fell into the path of Jamie Kelly on the left side of the box. The midfielder was all on his own and finished it into the bottom right corner.

The less-informed might have put the Waterford game down as a certain two points, but even the better-informed identified this as the most winnable game of this Tailteann Cup group. Deep into the first half, however, it was the Déise, not Wicklow, who were 10 points up. The breeze was very strong in Wexford, and Waterford were the benefactors, but was it a 10-point breeze? Could Wicklow be eliminated from the Tailteann Cup even after their excellent win over Laois a fortnight ago?

Wicklow minor boss feels team can help raise bar for county starved of success
Though they lost the All-Ireland Tier Three Championship final on Saturday, manager Barry Fitzgerald tips bigger things for some of his players Wicklow People Losing an All-Ireland final is hard on everyone involved with the losing team, but it poses a unique challenge for managers. They have to push their feelings aside to no small extent because, as their title suggests, they need to manage how their players process the experience. When those players are youngsters, minors, the challenge is even keener. The Wicklow minors who lost Saturday's All-Ireland Tier Three football final to Longford will have taken it harder than players more hardened to ups and downs on and off the field.
