Karl O'Dwyer was a footballer from Waterville in South Co Kerry.[1] He played with the Kerry team that were shocked by Clare in the final of the 1992 Munster Senior Football Championship. He later played with Kildare and had much success when his father Mick was manager. In 1998 he helped Kildare to their first Leinster Senior Football Championship title since 1956, he later helped his team to a first All Ireland final since 1928 but lost out to Galway on the day. In the semi final Kildare beat O' Dwyers native Kerry. At the end of the year he picked up an All Stars Award at Full Forward. In 2000 he once again helped Kildare to a Leinster title. O'Dwyer retired from inter-county in 2002 following Kildare's defeat to Kerry in the All-Ireland Qualifiers.
Before moving to Kildare he played with his local Watervile and with the South Kerry team. In Kildare he first played with Rathangan before joining Round Towers.[2] He won a Kildare Senior Football Championship medal with Round Towers in 2003. He is now a school teacher. In 2015, O'Dwyer managed the St Laurence's minor team to the minor B final, but they were beaten by a strong Alymer Gaels side.
