FORMER LIMERICK HURLING captain Donal O’Grady has retired from inter-county hurling, it was confirmed today.
O’Grady, who skippered the Treaty County to a Munster senior hurling crown in 2013, had been keeping his options open since the start of the season, but will now vacate Limerick’s midfield.
The news came after Limerick hit 3- 17 in a Munster SHL win over Cork in Mallow, county manager TJ Ryan confirming that the 35-year-old had called it a day.
The Granagh-Ballingarry club man made his senior championship debut for Limerick in 2004 and lined out in one All-Ireland final, hitting 0-2 when Limerick lost out against Kilkenny in the 2007 decider.
His career highlight came in 2013 when he captained Limerick on a day that they ended their 17-year provincial senior hurling drought against Cork.
Can’t wait for this.. That French pack are going to eat the aussies for breakfast… that extremely talented French 23 should hammer these guys. Can’t see any other result…
“(France) captained by arguably the greatest player to ever play the game” ??? Journalistic licence or what?
