Tipperary's Conor O'Mahony has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
The two-time All Star from Newport has opted to call time on a career that saw him wear the Premier jersey for 15 seasons. In that time he won an All-Ireland senior medal in 2010 on day when Tipp stopped Kilkenny's 'drive for five'.
O'Mahony also played on five Munster-winning teams and won an Allianz League medal in 2008.

On making his decision, the 31-year-old said: "Having had the great honour of playing with Tipperary at all levels over the last 15 years, I have decided to call time on my inter-county hurling career. It was a huge privilege for me to play with Tipperary.
"I will have great memories from my time as a Tipperary player and particularly of 2010 when we won the All Ireland senior hurling championship.
"I want to thank all the players on the panel in my time. I have made great friendships and have many treasured memories. I am grateful to the management teams and their backroom staff who gave me such great encouragement and support.
"I also want to thank Tipperary board and my club, Newport, for their great loyalty and support during my time playing with Tipperary."
