Kerr disappointed at Sadlier’s enforced retirement

IRELAND’S management team yesterday expressed disappointment at the enforced retirement of 24-year-old centre-forward Richard Sadlier

The Dublin-born striker was forced out of the game by a succession of serious injuries that affected his hip, making it impossible for him to play on a regular basis.

He was capped once for Ireland’s senior team, against Russia in 2002, and was a regular member of Ireland’s under-age teams under Brian Kerr.
