Playing career

O'Dwyer began his Gaelic football career at club level with Urhan. After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks, while also lining out at school's level with St Jarlath's College in Tuam, he eventually joined the club's top adult team and won a Beara Junior Championship title in 1980.
