Kilkenny goalkeeper Ryan retires

Goalkeeper PJ Ryan has become the latest Kilkenny player to retire from the inter-county hurling scene, joining James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick and Eddie Brennan who both bowed out in recent weeks.

Ryan won seven All-Ireland titles with Brian Cody's side and his list of honours also includes nine Leinster SHC titles, five National Leagues and an All-Star award from 2009.
