Herity hangs up Cats hurley

Goalkeeper David Herity has become the second Kilkenny hurler to bow out at the top following September’s All-Ireland success.

The Dunamaggin man, 32 in April, has confirmed his retirement from the inter-county game just days after Tommy Walsh’s similar decision.

Like Walsh, Herity was restricted to a bench role for this year’s All-Ireland finals behind Eoin Murphy though he was between the sticks for the 2011 and 2012 final wins.
