Micko says players’ only focus is Sligo

MICK O’DWYER has dismissed the idea his Wicklow players will be inspired by the possibility Saturday’s All-Ireland first round qualifier against Sligo could be his last in charge of the county.

The legendary manager has already announced his intentions to step down as Garden County boss after beingappointed in October 2006. The Micko factor worked two years ago when Wicklow reached the fourth round of the qualifiers having beaten three Ulster teams.

But he doesn’t believe his charges will be motivated by the possibility of his last game in Aughrim, should they lose.
