Cusack: No regrets on career, no bitterness over league axing

Dónal Óg Cusack appears to have accepted his inter-county hurling career is over after insisting he has no intentions of being bitter about his demotion from the panel and is ready for a new challenge.

Interestingly, Cork’s three-time All-Ireland winning goalkeeper didn’t go as far as announcing his inter-county retirement. However, contrary to media reports, he clarified that manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy had given him no indication last month that he may be recalled to the panel after the league.

With Barry-Murphy’s agreement running until the end of the 2014 season, it seems Cusack, who would then be 37, has played his last game in a Cork jersey.
