Wicklow Finals
GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
FINAL TIE OF THE WICKLOW FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
The final tie of the Wicklow Football Championship came off on Sunday on the grounds of the Benburb GAA Clonskeagh. The competing teams were, Annacurra, the champions of South Wicklow, and the 98 Club, Ballyknockan, which has attained a similar position amongst the clubs of the western division of the county. There was a good attendance of spectators, a large percentage of whom were Wicklowians, who had followed one or other of the contesting clubs. The 98 Club and their friends travelled to the city by the Steam Tram from Blessington, while the Annacurra men, who hail from the extreme south of the county, had a long journey by the morning train from Woodenbridge, and did not arrive in the metropolis until close upon noon, Three members of the county Wicklow committee attended for the purpose of seeing that the game was properly carried out, viz, Messrs P McDonnell, president, who acted as referee; John Kelly, Avondale; and S J Doyle, hon sec. With the day remarkably fine, the ground in excellent order, and two such well known clubs contesting, it is not surprising that the play was up to a high standard throughout, and at times of a most exciting and brilliant description.
ANNACURRA • 98 CLUB, BALLYKNOCKAN
(FINAL TIE OF THE COUNTY WICKLOW CHAMPIONSHIP).
The ’98 Club won the toss and took advantage of the light wind that was blowing by playing for the lower goal. They opened hostilities, and for a few minutes looked very dangerous; but Annacurra defended well and soon succeed in reversing matters. Getting a favourable throw in from the side line near their opponents goal, the southern champions attacked, and after a nice bit of play, cleverly scored a goal. For more than ten minutes the play was very well spread over the field, with neither posts being much in danger.
The Ballyknockan men now came in splendidly and a grand attack was beautifully saved by the Annacurra goalkeeper, but the former team persevering, eventually sent the ball between the goal posts, which left the scores level. Even play followed and just as the whistle sounded for half time Annacurra kicked a point. The 98’s commenced the second half as they did the first by forcing their opponents to act on the defensive, and five minutes after change of sides they again equalised the score by gaining a point.
The play now became very exciting, Annacurra making a tremendous effort to forge ahead once more, and they were soon rewarded by getting a 40 yards free kick, off which they scored a point. Immediately afterwards the South Wicklow men struck the crossbar with the ball, which, however, rebounded into play, and nothing resulted.
From this to the end the play was very determined and even, the teams attacking alternately but failing to score, so that at the conclusion the referee (Mr P M’Donnell, President Co Wicklow Committee) announced the result as follows:
Annacurra, 1 goal and 2 point
98 Club, 1 goal and 1 point
It was a wonderfully even match throughout, and Annacurra, who are now the champions of Wicklow for the second time in succession, had nothing whatever to spare in carrying off victory from the dashing West Wicklow men.
