Tributes paid as Kildare's Sweeney bows out

Kieran McGeeney and John Doyle have led the tributes to Ronan Sweeney who has confirmed his retirement from inter-county football after 14 years as a Kildare player.

Sweeney, a Leinster SFC winner in 2000, confirmed his departure following Saturday's All-Ireland SFC qualifier loss to Tyrone in Newbridge - a game he was not involved in. A back injury unfortunately disrupted his final season.
