Kissane bows out, happy to have lived his Rebel dream

Cork’s 2010 All Star half-back Paudie Kissane has retired from inter-county football.

The 33-year-old, who won an intermediate county title with Clyda Rovers earlier this month, only made his Championship debut at the age of 28, having appeared briefly on the senior county panel in 2002 and 2003.

But in just six seasons, he packed in an impressive haul, claiming an All-Ireland title, three Munster crowns, three Division 1 titles as well as a Division 2 win.
