Statement on behalf of Tipperary hurler Eoin Kelly
December 2, 2014
Having announced my retirement from the Tipperary senior hurling team after fifteen seasons, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the many people who have supported me during my career.
Those fifteen years playing with my county have provided me with experiences and memories that will live with me forever.
I have been honored to wear the famous Blue and Gold with, and against, some of the greatest players in the country and I am very lucky to call many of them friends.
Firstly and most importantly, I would like to thank my wife Sarah and my family for their continued support and encouragement. I would especially like to thank my parents who were my biggest supporters throughout my career.
I would also like to thank the people of Mullinahone and the many coaches and trainers who tirelessly promote hurling in our area of South Tipperary.
I would like to thank the Tipperary County board, the Tipperary Management Teams that I served under and most importantly the Tipperary people for their continued support, encouragement and loyalty.
I would like to wish the current Tipperary Senior Team every success in the forthcoming year.

Wouldn’t that just sicken your shit
He was injured more or less solidly with his back circa 2008-2009. When Tipp played Cork in Thurles in '09 it was Kelly’s first match in nearly a year.
[QUOTE=“myboyblue, post: 1053526, member: 180”]Just seen the rumours, an outstanding player and leader. One of the all time greats. Words wouldnt do him justice really.
[QUOTE=“carryharry, post: 1053527, member: 1517”]An outstanding hurler, will go down as 1 of the best of the current generation. Probably the best reader of the game I have seen.
