Conor O'Brien steps away from inter-county hurling

Tipperary hurler Conor O'Brien has announced his retirement from county hurling. The 31-year-old won two All-Ireland titles and five Munster titles with the Premier county after making his debut in 2007.

"Since I first joined the Tipperary senior hurling panel in 2007, I have always felt it a great privilege and honour to represent my county at senior level. Having enjoyed it immensely, I have decided that now is the time to announce my retirement," he said in a statement.
