Micko needs more time to make mind up

THE SAGA over whether Mick O'Dwyer stays on as manager of Wicklow's county team or moves to another county continues. At a meeting of the County Committee on Monday night, Wicklow acceded to a request from the Kerry maestro that he be given another ten days in which to make a decision about his future. It had been expected in the press as well as throughout the county that Micko would be reappointed as manager of Wicklow's county team for a fifth consecutive year at Monday's meeting in Aughrim.
