Episode 1: Small County, Big Fight

The Wicklow Wrap

Friday, 27 February 2026 - 28 minutes

Ardmore Rovers have been fighting for years to secure proper facilities of their own. We speak to Vice Chairperson Stuart Graham about what that struggle actually looks like - the planning roadblocks, the funding pressure, and what it means for players and families in Bray. It’s about identity, opportunity, and whether local clubs are being given a fair shot.

Then we turn to schools rugby - where Wicklow teams continue to punch above their weight against the traditional Dublin powerhouses . Journalist Graham O’Neill joins us to break down the politics, eligibility controversies, and the structural realities of Leinster schools rugby.
