In a tense encounter, Wicklow duo John Dalton and Leighton Glynn and Fermanagh's Barry Mulrone were all shown two yellow cards each.

Wicklow replied in strong fashion on the restart thanks to a James Stafford goal with a Glynn penalty levelling the tie.

Substitute Ryan Jones was Fermanagh's top scorer with 0-06.

Meanwhile, at Dr Cullen Park, home side Carlow held out for a 1-11 to 1-10 win over a determined Clare side.

Two players were sent off for Clare with both Mark Tubridy and John Hayes sent to the line by referee Keith O'Brien during this closely-contested game.
