Retiring Rory Jacob hits out at rift rumours

Retiring Wexford hurler Rory Jacob has fired a parting shot at a local media outlet who reported he had been axed from Liam Dunne’s panel at the end of summer.

Jacob failed to garner a starting berth in either of Wexford’s three championship outings this year, with the 31-year old yesterday announcing his retirement from the inter-county scene.

Corner-forward on the 2004 Leinster winning team, Jacob was the longest serving member of the present squad, having made his inter-county debut in 2002.
