Lockhart to quit Rules scene

DERRY stalwart Sean Marty Lockhart has called a halt to his 14 Test International Rules Series career.

"Even before I came out, I had decided it was my last tour, irrespective of what happened. I got a good innings. I was there for seven years and I'm happy to retire at that,'' he said.

"We have had our highs and lows on tours, but as regards violent play, this has probably been the worst. On previous tours the Australians were aggressive physically, but they never went to the extent that Chris Johnson did.
