O’Dwyer may be called to lift Banner fortunes

Legendary Kerry boss Mick O’Dwyer is in contention to make a sensational return to football management with Clare.

O’Dwyer (76), who led the Kingdom to eight All-Ireland senior football titles, is in the field to succeed Micheal McDermott at the Banner helm.

The Waterville native who has had spells with Kildare, Laois and Wicklow is understood to have had talks with county board chiefs in recent weeks, according to Kerry sources.
