Rising Son

When Mick O’Dwyer left Kildare, everyone presumed his son went with him. Not so, as Karl O’Dwyer explains to Mark Gallagher.

FOR an hour in Carlow last Sunday week, Kildare people could believe they were living in a different time, a time not that long ago when Karl O'Dwyer would fire over points, Brian Lacey would bomb balls from defence and Glenn Ryan stepping up to take a penalty to dump Laois out of the Leinster championship.

If only. However, Round Towers' victory over Laois champions Arles-Kilcruise, offered a small measure of compensation for the Lilywhite's summer pain.
