WICKLOW WON TODAY’S Tailteann Cup senior football competition opener, and sealed their progression to the First Round of the competition with a 3-16 to 1-10 win over Waterford.
The hosts were 0-8 to 0-5 up at half time of the Preliminary Round clash in Aughrim, and second-half goals from Kevin Quinn (two) and Eoin Darcy saw them run away with it.
Ephie Fitzgerald’s Waterford grabbed a consolation goal, courtesy of Brian Looby, in the dying minutes, but the Garden county finished up routine 12-point winners.
They will face the winners of Wexford and Offaly next weekend; their Leinster counterparts facing off in tomorrow’s other Tailteann Cup preliminary round game.
