Earls steals win for wasteful Wicklow

A LATE Paul Earls goal rescued victory for Wicklow in O’Moore Park yesterday, just when it looked like they had blown it.

Mick O’Dwyer’s men established a seven-point lead entering the final quarter, but 1-4 without reply from Longford brought the sides level with just five minutes left.

Seánie Furlong must have been feeling particularly guilty, as his point to establish that initial advantage was taken at the expense of a glaring goal opportunity, which would surely have sealed victory.
