Bill Cooper announces Cork retirement

“It’s a tough decision to make in one way, but when it’s the right decision it’s not that hard.” 

Bill Cooper of Cork is congratulated by supporters after a Munster SHC match against Tippeary in Thurles. 

Midfielder Bill Cooper has retired from intercounty hurling and will not be available to Cork in 2022.

“I told Kieran (Kingston, Cork senior manager) that I wouldn’t be available next year, I wouldn’t be in a position to give the commitment,” said Cooper.
