Members of the Louth team with volunteers from Special Olympics Ireland, for whom the match was played for last night
Louth’s preparations for their Leinster Championship opener with Laois on May 26th suffered a setback last night when the Wee County went down to Wicklow in Drogheda on a 0-16 to 1-9 scoreline.
Playing against a strong wind in the opening half at the St Nicholas GFC pitch in Rathmullen, Aidan O’Rourke’s side trailed by 0-8 to 0-2 at the break.
The home side attempted a fight back in the second half, with David Reid pulling a goal back but in the end it was Wicklow who came out on top as they dealt with the conditions better than Louth had in the first half.
The Wee County continue their preparations for the championship when they face neighbours Meath in Trim tonight at 7pm.
