FORMER LIMERICK HURLING captain Donal O’Grady has retired from inter-county hurling, it was confirmed today.
O’Grady, who skippered the Treaty County to a Munster senior hurling crown in 2013, had been keeping his options open since the start of the season, but will now vacate Limerick’s midfield.
The news came after Limerick hit 3- 17 in a Munster SHL win over Cork in Mallow, county manager TJ Ryan confirming that the 35-year-old had called it a day.
The Granagh-Ballingarry club man made his senior championship debut for Limerick in 2004 and lined out in one All-Ireland final, hitting 0-2 when Limerick lost out against Kilkenny in the 2007 decider.
His career highlight came in 2013 when he captained Limerick on a day that they ended their 17-year provincial senior hurling drought against Cork.
