Kennelly retires from Aussie Rules

IRELAND’S must successful Australian Rules Football convert Tadhg Kennelly last night announced his retirement from the AFL.

Kennelly (30) became the only Irish man to win an AFL Premiership title when helping the Sydney Swans to Grand Final glory in 2005.

However the 194-game veteran has endured a trying season, as he struggled to nail down a starting spot in recent weeks and was locked in contract negotiations with the club.
