"Since taking the reins, Oisín has overseen a marked upturn in performance and squad development,' a statement read. 'This year, under his leadership, Wicklow came within a score of promotion and delivered a thrilling Tailteann Cup semi-final display, only to be edged out by Limerick in the closing minutes.
