O'Dwyer's journey to continue

Wicklow v Cavan: IT’S UNBELIEVABLE that we are yet again talking about the influence of Mick O’Dwyer

Wicklow v Cavan:IT'S UNBELIEVABLE that we are yet again talking about the influence of Mick O'Dwyer. Wicklow were given little chance of beating Fermanagh last Saturday, but they beat them well – allowing O'Dwyer to claim the feat of beating every county during his terms as manager. With home advantage and an unchanged team there is no reason O'Dwyer won't enjoy another day out.

Cavan manager Tommy Carr is under pressure to get things right and with John McCutcheon, Ciarán Galligan and David Givney carrying injuries, he won’t reveal his hand until the last minute.

WICKLOW: M Travers; C Hyland, D Ó hAnnaidh, S Kelly; P McWalter, B McGrath, D Hayden; J Stafford, T Walsh; L Glynn, T Hannon, JP Dalton; D Odlum, S Furlong, P Earls.
