Micko 'to stay in charge in Laois'

In spite of talk of him leaving for Dublin, Mick O'Dwyer is to remain at the helm of the Laois football team, following marathon talks between the management, the county board and the players last night.

O'Dwyer held talks with county board delegates and the players at the Heath, outside Portlaoise, and entered via a back door to avoid the media.
