3. A legend of Cork football calls it a day

Best wishes to @thedonch2012 who after 12 years of senior service has decided to retire from intercounty football. On all occasions he wore the jersey with savage pride . From the border territories, he is a proud son of @ballydesmondgaa & @DuhallowGAA . pic.twitter.com/x7ZqLaDMVU
