Tipperary’s Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
The three-time All-Ireland winner was one of the county’s greatest servants.
The 35 year old said the following as he accounted his retirement;
“After 16 years as a Tipperary senior hurler I have decided that the time is right for me to announce my retirement from inter-county hurling.
“It has been a dream come true for me to have had the privilege and honour to wear the Tipperary jersey.
“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.”

This man owes us nothing. He is a warrior, has come back from a number of serious injuries and ALWAYS gave his all for the blue & gold. The very best of luck to Bonner into the future. 👏👏👏👏
What a player and warrior for Tipperary. Thanks Bonner 💙
