Tipperary boss Colm Bonnar has described Padraic Maher’s injury-enforced retirement as “heartbreaking” for the player.
The shock news emerged this morning with Maher, who turns 33 this month, taking medical advice to cease contact sport as a result of a neck injury, meaning that he has also played his last game for Thurles Sarsfields.
The three-time All-Ireland winner had been due to return to training very shortly as he rehabilitated an ankle problem.
