Kilkenny duo retire
Thursday September 09 2010
Kilkenny defenders Michael Kavanagh and James Ryall have announced their retirements from inter-county hurling in the wake of last Sunday's All-Ireland final defeat to Tipperary.
Kavanagh (31) lost his place to John Dalton this year, having started at right corner back in each of the All-Ireland victories between 2006 and 2009.
He won seven All-Ireland senior medals and a record 12 Leinster medals.
Ryall (29) has been mainly confined to the role of impact substitute in recent seasons. He won six All-Ireland medals during a distinguished career with the Cats.
