Wicklow maintain winning run

Wicklow 0-7
Wexford 0-5

A fine Tony Hannon score late on made the difference as the Garden County to book their place in next weekend’s semi-final against either Dublin or Westmeath.

The hosts enjoyed the better of things in the first half in particular but were still held at 0-5 apiece by the 48th minute despite having the wind at their backs.

But points from Earls - his fifth - and Hannon made the difference in the end.
