Episode 5: Wicklow Sporting Round Up

The Wicklow Wrap

Thursday, 26 March 2026 - 27 minutes

Jamie Ryan and Sinéad Kehoe break down a packed week of sport, with plenty to get stuck into across GAA, soccer and boxing.

We start with a brutal one for Wicklow footballers – a 12-point lead thrown away against Longford, ending hopes of promotion to Division 3. What went wrong, and what does it say about mentality and game management?

There’s a much more positive story on the hurling side – Wicklow are heading to Division 2 after a dominant campaign. We look ahead to this weekend’s league final against Donegal, a repeat of the 2023 Nicky Rackard Cup final.

Attention then turns to international soccer, with Ireland facing Czechia in a massive World Cup qualifier play-off semi-final. Is there a real chance of progression?

And finally, we talk Katie Taylor – with talk growing around a possible homecoming fight in Croke Park, we ask the big question: is it actually realistic, or just wishful thinking?
