MICHAEL KAVANAGH IS the latest Kilkenny hurler to call it a day.
The St Lachtain’s clubman does so with eight Celtic Crosses in his back pocket as well as 13 Leinster titles.
“There comes a time when you know it is time to go. That time has come for me,” Kavanagh told the Kilkenny People.
“I arrived for a golden era in Kilkenny hurling and I got to play with and against some players who will forever be remembered as giants of the game,” the defender added.
“It is a big decision, a painful decision, but everyone knows the end of the road has to come some time.”
Kavanagh, who was an All-Star on four occasions, took time out from the Kilkenny senior set-up before coming to this decision.
