Rathnew manager tips wide-open race for Wicklow County Championship
Wicklow People Today at 02:30 With 34 Senior Championship titles to their name, Rathnew are Wicklow's most-successful club as far as winning the Miley Cup, the county's most-prestigious competition, is concerned. So, even if they might currently be lacking in Wicklow county panellists, it's fair to say Championship was, is, and always will be their priority. It's the same for every club, so League football is often a patchy indicator of what's to come, and that might explain why the Rathnew players were quite reserved in their post-match celebrations after winning the Dunne Cup and Division One of the Wicklow County League in Ashford last Saturday night. This, despite having come through a genuine, hard-fought decider with Greystones' Éire Óg.

Rathnew happy to reach League final, but Championship remains the focus
Wicklow People Speaking on behalf of the Rathnew management team, Mark Coffey cut an understandably pleased figure after his side booked their place in a Division One final; but he was understated as well, and it's clear he and his fellow management-team members are more focused on the action that will follow this League campaign. Rathnew topped the table on 15 points, three clear of anyone else and more than enough to book a spot in the final against Éire Óg. Their opponents on Friday night, Baltinglass, will certainly have more man-power available to them in the County Championship, and it's hard to imagine last year's runners-up losing by a dozen points to anyone when the more-serious stuff gets underway. Coffey was keen to emphasis that.
