There was nothing to separate the sides as Enniscorthy and Wicklow played out a scoreless draw at the Astro Active Centre on Saturday in Leinster division 7.
The first half started promisingly for the Wexford men as William Durnan and Rory Maguire linked up well to set up the latter for a shot at goal which grazed the post. The home side's defence had to be on their guard, though, as Wicklow could be dangerous on the counter. Just before the half-time whistle Durnan had a great chance which was just slightly off the mark.
The second half was dominated by the Wicklow side, with Enniscorthy struggling to create chances. FCJ Bunclody student Daithí Medcalf worked hard to give the hosts an outlet between the midfield and forward departments. Midway through the half Medcalf set up John McWey, but his shot on goal was well saved. After that the Wicklow side dominated proceedings; over the last 15 minutes of the match the Garden County men were awarded five short corners but some last ditch defending kept the scoreline to nil all.
Next week Enniscorthy's second team travel to Dublin to take on league leaders, Dublin University (Trinity College).
Enniscorthy Squad: Luke Doyle; Ivan Rothwell; Greg Hawkins; Mark Jowett; Nick Peare; Daithí Medcalf; Liam Jowett; Jack Redmond; Robbie Walshe; Rory Maguire; William Durnan; Conor Tull; Jacob English; Fraser Rothwell.
