Like father, like son: O'Dwyer jnr making waves

By Mark Kennedy

MICK O'DWYER'S son Karl is making waves as a team manager in Wicklow.

Karl, who played football for Kildare when his father managed the Lilywhites, is now managing two teams in Wicklow, group team St Mary's in the SFC and Coolkenno in the IFC.

At Aughrim yesterday he guided St Mary's, a combination of neighbours Coolkenno and Shillelagh, to a surprise 1-11 to 0-6 win over fancied Blessington, putting them in pole position to make the knockout quarter-final stages of the championship.

If he maintains this winning steak with both teams, he might well be considered to succeed his father as manager of Wicklow's county team.

Karl is a chip off the old block. Was talking to him recently at one of the Kildare matches and he really is a sound lad. He's teaching up in Confey I think.

Wasn't one of Dwyer's other sons a selector with Kerry a few years ago?

Some shillings through that family then!
