Following a one-point defeat by Clare last week, Wicklow got their League show on the road at Aughrim yesterday with a seven-point win over Leitrim.

Centre-forward Tony Hannon led the Wicklow charge, Scóring an impressive 1-4, with his opportunist second-half goal proving crucial.

Up to then Mick ODwyers men had laboured to shake off a Leitrim side that always controlled the vital midfield play through the work of Tomas Beirne and David OConnor.

The goal stretched Wicklows lead to 1-7 to 0-5 and inspired them to play their best football of the game over the next 10 minutes as they increased their lead to 1-12 to 0-6 with further points by Seanie Furlong, Paddy Dalton, centre-back Brian McGrath and a lovely brace from LeightonÓglynn, who had moved to corner-forward in the second half.

Although Hannon scored first for Wicklow with a point from a free, the westerners had the better of the exchanges in the first quarter, leading their opponents twice with points by midfielder OConnor and free-taking centre-forward Michael Foley.

They were ahead 0-3 to 0-2 after 15 minutes.

Minutes later Glynn picked out Dalton with a great cross-field pass. Dalton fired in a sizzling shot from 30 metres, but Leitrims Dermot Reynolds got down at the near post to make a super save, but at the expense of a 45. Wicklow lead 0-6 to 0-4 at the break before Hannon hit the back of the net in the second half to secure the win for ODwyers side.

Leitrim scorers: M Foley 0-3 (0-3f), D OConnor, D ODonnell, D Gilhooly, E Mulligan, C Regan, B Prior 0-1 each.

Leitrim  E Lyons, D Reynolds, J McKeon, B Prior, D Beck, G Reynolds, J Glancy (St Marys), T Beirne, D OConnor, P McGuinness, M Foley, C Regan, D ODonnell, J Glancy (Glencar Manor), D Gilhooly.

Leitrim lost out to Waterford on a scoreline of 0-13 to 0-10 in their first game in the 2010 National League on Sunday last (7/2/10) in Ballinamore.

Both sides had their periods of dominance in the first half and only a point separated them at half time as Waterford led 0-6 to 0-5. 

Certainly, the loss of Phillip Howard through injury at half time was a major blow to Leitrim as he had contributed 3 excellent points from play in the first half.  However, Leitrim started the second half brightly and scored five points without reply between the 41st and 57th minute during which time Gareth Phelan made a trully remarkable save from a well taken penalty.  However, a strong revival in the last quarter saw Waterford turn a 4 point deficit into a 3 point win as they tapped over 7 points without reply in the last 12 minutes to leave Leitrim devastated at the final whistle.

Leitrim scorers: J Glancy 0-3 (3f), P Howard (0-3), P McGuinness, D OConnor, D Gilhooly, D Beck 0-1 each.

LEITRIM: G Phelan, B Prior, J McKeon, D Reynolds, D Beck, G Reynolds, J Glancy (St Marys), C Richardson, D Sweeney, P McGuinness, M Foley, C Regan, P Howard, J Glancy (Glencar Manor), D OConnor. Subs: T Beirne for D Sweeney, D Gilhooly for P Howard, E Mulligan for C Regan, A Croal for M Foley.
