Just one player from the famous Tipperary 2010 side that stopped Kilkenny's drive for five, is still playing at inter-county level
One of Tipperary hurling’s greatest warriors and fans’ favourite Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher has retired from the inter-county game.
Loorha-Dorrha club man Maher made his Tipperary debut in 2009, going on to win five Munster titles and two All-Stars . The latter years of his county career were blighted by injury, in particular a ruptured cruciate knee ligament and a ruptured achilles tendon , which cost him two seasons. "I want to thank each and every player I had the opportunity to share the dressing room with. I will cherish the friendships made over the years and all the great memories.
“I thank you all for your dedication in supporting the Tipperary team to the highest standards. I would also like to thank the GPA for all the support they have provided me during my career. “My brothers Jack and Willie - my love for the blue and gold and hurling in general was born in the countless hours we spent hurling on the front lawn at home. Thanks for never going easy on me.
