Cunningham: Big decision for Seán Óg

Cork selector Ger Cunningham yesterday praised Seán Óg Ó hAilpín’s contribution to the county side in 2012 but is unsure if the former All-Ireland-winning captain will return in 2013.

Ó hAilpín admitted on Tuesday night that he will make a decision on his future in the coming weeks and Cunningham admitted that retiring from inter-county is one of the toughest calls any player must make.

He explained: “It’s a very personal decision. It’s a big commitment but it’s hard to leave. Leaving the inter-county scene is difficult when it’s been part of your life such a long time. He’ll reflect and make whatever decision he wishes.”
