'I've given it as much as I can': James Kavanagh calls time on Galway career after one season

Work and family demands force two-time Allstar nominee to step back.

JAMES KAVANAGH HAS left the Galway football panel โ€” a little more than a year after he transferred to the Tribesmen from Kildare.

โ€œI have given it as much as I can,โ€ Kavanagh told Colm Keys in Wednesdayโ€™s Irish Independent.

โ€œBetween work and family now I just donโ€™t have the five or six days to give it that you need for inter-county.โ€

Kavanagh joined Alan Mullhollandโ€™s squad ahead of the 2014 season and played in both the league and championship campaigns.

Prior to that, the two-time Allstar nominee represented Kildare from 2005-2012 but called time on his Lilywhites career when he settled in Galway with his family.

This, from his Kildare days, was pretty decent:
