ALL-STAR GOALKEEPER Stephen O’Keeffe says he will not be returning to the Waterford hurling squad in 2023.
The Ballygunner shot-stopper — who stepped away from the inter-county game in late December 2020 following their All-Ireland final defeat to Limerick –, was recently invited back into the panel recently by manager Davy Fitzgerald.
The Déise boss said that the 31-year-old was considering the option, but O’Keeffe has now confirmed that he has declined the offer.
“I’ve given it a good decade of my life, playing with Waterford,” O’Keeffe told WLR FM.
“I absolutely loved it. I’ve made friends for life. I remember beating Cork in an All-Ireland semi-final and you knew the result was in hand with five or six minutes to go and the crowd was going wild.
“Memories that will last me for a lifetime. But I think life moves on for people. Sometimes you just need to put a pin in it.”

Strange headline. I don’t think he tore anyone apart. He just made a bit of a fool of himself.
Dont agree that interviewer is a pompous fool, held his counsel well under the circumstances.
Is it the interviewer you don’t agree with or me? You seem to comment negatively on anything I say on ‘The Score’
You have no twitter (the account you post through) followers and follow no one. You are a troll hiding behind a keyboard.
Whatever you get your kicks from.

By leaving out a comma. I don’t think it’s what he meant though.
