Seán Óg to call time on Cork?

THE inter-county career of Cork hurling legend Sean Óg O hAilpín may be over, amid growing speculation the Na Piarsaigh clubman has called time on a 14-year career at the highest level with the Rebels.

O hAilpin (33), who captained Cork to All-Ireland glory in 2005, is understood to have made his decision over the weekend following a meeting with the Cork senior hurling management team.

Cork coach Denis Walsh and his management team met with a number of Cork hurlers over the weekend with a view towards planning for the 2011 season.
