Henry becomes first Dub All-Ireland champ to retire

DAVID HENRY won’t be follow in the footsteps of Conal Keaney, Shane Ryan and Ross O’Carroll and switch to the Dublin hurlers after deciding to end his inter-county football career.

The Raheny man had contacted Pat Gilroy to confirm he was bringing his time with the team to an end after 10 seasons yesterday.

The versatile 31-year-old is also regarded as an excellent club hurler but Anthony Daly stated he’s content with his current panel of players.
