Micko begins Wicklow search

O'Dwyer, officially unveiled as Wicklow football manager on October 9, has already had a busy few weeks at the helm with four trial matches played during the last week in both Hollywood and Roundwood.

According to sources, O'Dwyer and his selectors ran the rule over 150 players before announcing their first official panel.

The St. Patrick's players were excused from the trial matches due to club commitments and they are missing from the panel.

Players from the county's Under-21 team, managed by Phillip McGillycuddy, Joe McDonald and Mick O'Toole, will also be invited to train with O'Dwyer's seniors.

The current senior panel includes Rathnew stars Tommy Gill and Trevor Doyle, as well as players who have been on the fringes of the side in recent seasons, like Bray Emmets free-taker Conor Flannery and Coolkenno defender Stevie Cush.
