ROSS MUNNELLY HAS brought the curtain down on a 20-year intercounty career with Laois, and in doing so cut the remaining link with the county’s 2003 Leinster SFC win.
The veteran Arles Kilcruise clubman confirmed that he was calling time with a post on social media, making a point of referencing Mick O’Dwyer who was instrumental in introducing him to the senior ranks during his time in charge.
“I wrote this note with a smile, as the time feels right to conclude my inter county playing days.
“Thank you Micko for giving me the chance to achieve my dream of playing for Laois in 2003. It has been both a privilege and an honour.

“An amazing experience with learnings and friendships that will last forever. Happy Christmas and thank you.
