Croke Park game planners feel O’Dwyer’s wrath

MICK O’DWYER yesterday proclaimed that it was unfair of Croke Park to expect Laois footballers to return to action just a week after competing in the NFL final.

Although O’Dwyer’s young team were well beaten by Tyrone last week, the legendary manager is angry that his team have only a week to rest their bruises and weary legs before returning to headquarters for a date with Wexford this Sunday.

Ironically, the game had originally be slated for May 5, the day of the league final.
