LIMERICK'S Graeme Mulcahy has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling. Mulcahy lined out for the Limerick senior hurlers for 16 years and he made his debut in 2009 during the National League against Kilkenny.
In this statement this afternoon, Mulcahy paid tribute to his teammates and the Limerick senior hurling management team.
"After 16 seasons, I have decided that the time is right for me to announce my retirement from inter county hurling. To have been entrusted to represent Limerick by the numerous management teams and sharing the dressing room with all my past and current team-mates has been a great honour. I leave with fantastic memories, lifelong friends and an immense pride in what we have achieved.
The highlight of my playing career was undoubtedly being apart of the team that ended the 45 years wait to bring the Liam McCarthy Cup back to Limerick. Coming back to the county with the Cup is something I will treasure forever. I will always be very grateful to John and his management team for allowing me to play a part in that."
John Kiely paid tribute to Mulcahy's contribution to the Limerick senior hurling team.
"He was a tremendous example to those around him by way of his commitment, dedication and relentless work rate on and off of the field.
