Kearns one of five on list for Laois manager’s job

LAOIS official Joe O’Dwyer has rejected claims that Liam Kearns will be appointed the county’s football manager tonight.

The former Limerick manager is seen as the front-runner to replace to Mick O’Dwyer but Laois officials are adamant no decision has been made.

Far from an appointment being imminent, the sub-committee formed to recommend the new man has still to interview the last of the five short-listed candidates.
