Dublin's Conal Keaney announces his retirement from the inter-county game

The dual star has called time on his career with the Dubs.

DUBLIN DUAL STAR Conal Keaney has retired from inter-county hurling.

The Ballyboden clubman, who won an All-Ireland senior football club title on St Patrick’s Day, had dropped a hint that he was considering his future with the Dubs back in December, saying “maybe I’m too old to play any more, I don’t know”.

And this morning, the 33-year-old confirmed the news that he has informed manager Ger Cunningham and the staff that he won’t be returning to the Dublin panel for 2016.

Keaney has played a pivotal role for the county’s senior football and hurling teams since making his debut in 2005.
