Shane O’Donnell almost retired from hurling in 2021 but on Sunday will have a chance to add to the ‘strange trajectory’ of his career.
SHANE O’DONNELL PLAYED with a finger that was “burst open” for the majority of Clare’s All-Ireland semi-final success over Kilkenny.
“That was it. I don’t understand exactly how it happened. Obviously, the ball kind of hit the front and the hurley at the back kind of pinched it. It must have just caused enough pressure to cause a lot of damage. Advertisement “There’s not much you can do at the same time. Fifteen or 20 minutes into the second half, I ended up going for a throw ball with Cian Kenny. He said to Liam Gordon, the ref, ‘He has to go off.’
“With the strange trajectory of my career, maybe you do think you’re going to be up there in semi-finals or finals competing every year. “It would certainly be a nice way to… I won’t say bookend, because I don’t plan on retiring this year, but it would be a nice way to stagger… Winning one at the start of your career and then one towards the end.”
