Wicklow dual players have been reassured by football manager Johnny Magee that they will be given the support to perform at their best in both codes.
Chester Kelly are Leighton Glynn are two who have already stated their desire to play both hurling and football, and with the likes of Arran Murphy and Seanie Furlong hinting that they may get involved in both codes, Magee believes it's crucial these players get the backing they need.
"I want the best footballers with me playing for Wicklow, I'm sure Casey O'Brien wants the best hurlers playing with him for the hurling," Magee told The Wicklow People.
"The communication I would have with the dual players would be that they won't be pulled and hammered from both ends. We would look after them and we won't be putting them in the position where they have to make a decision.
"We don't want to add pressure on them. We want to get the best out of them for the hurling and for the football. There'll be an understanding there.
"The way things are, Wicklow can't afford not to have their best players playing for them, whether it's hurling or football. If we can have a compromise that works and if the players are happy with it, then it's only for the benefit of Wicklow."
