In pictures: Tom Kenny's glittering career with the Rebels

The Grenagh clubman bows out after a brilliant 10-year run with the Rebels.

THE LAST DECADE has been an eventful one for Cork hurling but through success, failures and strikes, one thing has remained a constant: Tom Kenny.

Today in the Irish Examiner, the Grenagh clubman has called time on the senior intercounty career he began in 2003. The 32-year-old bows out with two All-Ireland titles and three Munster medals. Here’s some of the pics that sum up Kenny’s Cork career.
