ST Patrick's, one of the favourites in Wicklow’s senior football championship, were taken to extra time by a gallant An Tochar before winning their first game by 2-18 to 1-16 at the weekend.

The Roundwood men, who had a one-point win over Avondale in the first round last week, exploded from the blocks for a second week running, showing their intent as they raced into a 0-6 to nil lead in the first quarter.
