Power bows out of intercounty hurling

KILKENNY attacker John Power has confirmed he will quit intercounty hurling at 36.

Power's cameo appearance at the tail-end of Sunday's All-Ireland final marked his final outing with the county in a competitive game, when he shared with DJ Carey the distinction of winning a fourth medal on the field.

Power established a reputation as a fearless centre-forward who linked up cleverly with the inside players.
