Ryall calls time on glittering Cats career.

KILKENNY defender James Ryall has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.

The Graigue-Ballycallan man (30) bows out with six All-Ireland medals, seven Leinster and four National League titles with the Cats.

“I’d a great time with Kilkenny,” said Ryall. “It was an honour to play for my county and to finish with six All-Ireland medals is something special. You’d have to be happy with that.”
