Eoin Cadogan, the give-it-all Cork dual star, has confirmed his retirement from the inter-county game.

Cadogan, who turned 35 in September, won an All-Ireland football title with Cork and is the last of that group to retire from the inter-county scene. The Douglas man focused on hurling after 2014 and made the last of his four All-Ireland final appearances this year in the Hurling final defeat to Limerick. Typically, he was one of Cork’s most resilient performers on the day.
