Rossies blow as Cox to end inter-county career

ROSCOMMON have been dealt a huge blow with last year’s captain Gary Cox announcing his retirement from inter-county football because of ongoing injury problems.

The experienced attacker has been plagued by an ankle injury and has decided to walk away from the top flight.

The 30-year old hopes to continue playing for his club, St Faithleach’s – his brother Ray is the manager – but his loss is a further blow to a county side who have started the league badly, going down at home to Cavan by double scores and losing at Fermanagh.
