O’Dwyer hails best Garden showing

MICK O’DWYER reckoned the performance in Armagh on Saturday evening was as good as Wicklow have produced since he took charge five years ago.

Big praise indeed for a man who showed little sign that he is ready for retirement. He patrolled the sideline, match programme folded over as if to make a baton, with enthusiasm and total concentration.

Each sub going on was given a belt on the shoulder or a slap on the back which would have felled an unsuspecting player, but they have grown used to him in Wicklow.
