CLARE STAR SHANE O’Donnell is set to retire from inter-county hurling at the end of this year’s championship.
O’Donnell, a double All-Ireland winner and the 2024 Hurler of the Year, has confirmed his decision ahead of the Banner’s semi-final showdown with Limerick this weekend.
“Limerick in an All-Ireland semi-final with a chance to then play for the Liam MacCarthy. This is what it’s about, this is what it’s always been about. Croke Park on the big day and I honestly can’t wait.”
O’Donnell burst onto the inter-county scene as a 19-year-old, famously scoring a hat-trick against Cork in the 2013 All-Ireland final replay, ending Clare’s 16-year wait for Liam MacCarthy.
