Seán Óg told: It’s over

HE’S gone from breaking ball to breaking hearts and the keening and crying will be heard from Blarney to Bull Island.

Seán Óg O hAilpín, GAA hero, swoon-inducing pin-up and all-round sound man, is hanging up his inter-county shirt, leaving fans bereft in his wake.

The news broke like the shattering of a thousand hurleys as lovers of the game and the player alike struggled to picture Cork in action without Seán Óg in the thick of it.
