O'Dwyer set to take Laois reins

Mick O'Dwyer is reported to be very close to taking over as Laois football manager.

O'Dwyer, a legend in Kerry and Kildare after successful stints as manager in both counties, is believed to be the successor to Colm Browne.

Browne called it a day after Laois's dismal All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Meath in O¹Moore Park last month.

The Laois County Board met on Monday night and one source revealed the deal was "signed, sealed and delivered."
