Hurney calls time on Waterford career

Waterford’s Gary Hurney has announced his retirement from intercounty football.

Hurney, who made his championship debut as an 18-year-old against Cork in 1999, has cited family commitments and injuries as the reasons for ending his 15-year senior career.

Although he featured in Ballinacourty’s county championship winning campaign this year, he hadn’t trained since Waterford’s agonising one-point defeat to Galway in the All-Ireland qualifiers in July.
