Murphy to take over from Micko as Wicklow boss

Rathnew's Harry Murphy will be named as Mick O’Dwyer’s replacement at the helm of Wicklow football, the Irish Examiner has reported today.

Murphy will be ratified at a County Board meeting on Monday night but he has big boots to fill. Mick O’Dwyer had been at the helm for the last five years, winning the Tommy Murphy Cup in 2008 and taking Wicklow to marvellous runs in the All-Ireland qualifiers in 2009 and 2011.
