Galway Hurling Star Ollie Canning announces retirement...
Canning addressed his Galway team-mates in the dressing room after last Sunday's gut-wrenching All-Ireland SHC quarter-final defeat to Tipperary because he felt it would be the last opportunity he would get to do so.
Canning began his Galway career as a half forward before making the switch to corner back in 2001 when the Tribesmen lost the All-Ireland final to Tipperary. He won four All-Stars in the position in 2001, '03, '05 and '09.
Canning never won a senior All-Ireland medal with Galway, but did win an All-Ireland Minor medal in 1994, and an All-Ireland Under-21 medal in 1996. Canning also lined out for Connacht in the inter-provincial hurling competition. He captured two Railway Cup medals in 1999 and 2004. He has also won three All-Ireland club medals with Portumna, with whom he will continue to play. He actually retired from inter-county hurling in 2006, but returned a year later and was playing as well as he ever did in recent seasons.
But he has now admitted that he is unlikely to wear the maroon jersey again.
His move towards retirement will leave a huge hole in the Galway panel. Cheers Ollie for your outstanding service to Galway hurling. Best of Luck, whether or not you have played your last inter-county match.

2010 All-Ireland SHC Quarter-final: Galway narrowly lose to Tipperary...
Galway 3-16 Tipperary 3-17
Galway suffered a gut-wrenching defeat to Tipperary in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final at Croke Park. The Premier county win sets up a semi-final showdown with provincial rivals Waterford.
Half-Time: Galway 1-09 Tipperary 1-08
Pre-Match:
Galway's Cyril Donnellan has a hand injury and will not start.
Galway manager John McIntyre has made three changes to the side that lost the Leinster final to Kilkenny for today's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Tipperary at Croke Park.
Former minor star David Burke returns from suspension to replace Adrian Cullinane at midfield, while Eanna Ryan and Cyril Donnellan come into the attack in place of Aidan Harte and Aonghus Callanan.
Tony Og Regan continues at centre back with John Lee still not back to full fitness.
Galway XV: C Callanan; D Joyce, S Kavanagh, O Canning; D Barry, T Og Regan, D Collins; G Farragher, D Burke; E Ryan, C Donnellan, A Smith; D Hayes, J Canning, I Tannian.
Tipperary boss Liam Sheedy has named the same 15 which ousted Offaly for this match against Galway.
It means that Paul Curran and Conor O'Mahony occupy the centre positions of defence again at full-back and centre-back, respectively, while David Young partners Brendan Maher in the middle of the field.
The one positional change comes in attack as Shane McGrath is named at left half-forward and Patrick Maher starts on 'the 40'.
Thurles Sarsfields ace Lar Corbett leads the line from full-forward, where he is flanked by Noel McGrath and Eoin Kelly in the corners.
Tipperary XV: B Cummins; P Stapleton, P Curran, M Cahill; D Fanning, C O'Mahony, P Maher; B Maher, D Young; G Ryan, P Maher, S McGrath; N McGrath, L Corbett, E Kelly.

2010 All-Ireland SHC Quarter-final: Cork defeat Antrim...
Cork 1-25 Antrim 0-19 (Final Score)
Cork are into the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final after beating a brave Antrim side. They will now play defending champions Kilkenny in two weeks time.
Pre-Match Note:
Cork take on Antrim in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final at Croke Park. Antrim have never beaten Cork in the Championship. The most famous meeting of Cork and Antrim hurlers in Croke Park was the All-Ireland final of 1943. Having defeated both Kilkenny and Galway en route, the Northerners hoped to bring the Liam MacCarthy Cup across to Ulster for the first time, but it was not to be and the contest ended in a 22-point rout for the Leesiders, led by their 18-year-old-captain Mick Kennefick.
The two counties met again in 2004 – Brian Corcoran’s two goals leaving Cork ahead 2-13 to 0-3 at halftime. Cork, with all six forwards scoring, added another 13 points in the second half, while Antrim scored ten.
Match Note:
Cork's Paudie Sullivan hit the first point of the match from 13 metres, within the first minute of play.
Cathal Naughton scored a goal for Cork in injury-time of the first half.
Antrim's Liam Watson was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the final five minutes of the game.
Half-Time: Cork 1-16 Antrim 0-11
Cork XV: D Og Cusack; S Murphy, E Cadogan, B Murphy; J Gardiner, R Curran, R Ryan; T Kenny, C Naughton; B O'Connor, M Cussen, N McCarthy; P O'Sullivan, A O hAilpin, K Murphy.
