CIAN MCCARTHY HAS left the Cork senior hurling panel, it has been confirmed this morning. A statement from Rebel County officials revealed the news, as boss Jimmy-Barry-Murphy paid tribute to the Sarsfields man, who is the son of former dual star Teddy.
McCarthy, 25, started against Clare in the 2013 All-Ireland SHC final replay but has struggled to force his way into the team since then. McCarthy made his debut for the Leesiders in 2009 and JBM said: ”Cian has been a great servant to Cork hurling, but now wants to take a break from the inter-county scene due to work and other commitments.
“We are very sorry lose him but we respect his wishes and the door is open should he chose to return.”
