Conor O’Brien announces retirment from intercounty hurling

The 31-year old mad his senior debut for the Premier County against Dublin in the National League in 2007 and was a member of the panels that won All-Ireland titles in 2010 and 2016.

In a statment issued today the Éire Óg Anacarty player said he ” always felt it a great privilege and honour to represent my county at senior level”.

He added “I will greatly miss being involved with the Tipperary senior hurling panel as all involved among the players, management and backroom team are very special people”.

County Board Chairman Michael Bourke paid tribute to Conor and praised his “complete and selfless dedication, commitment and above all else tremendous heart and desire to be at his best personally and also for Tipperary”.
