O Se retires from inter-county football

All-Ireland champions Kerry could begin the defence of their All-Ireland football title without one-third of the starting 15 from last September's victory, following the retirement of legendary midfielder Darragh O Se.

O Se has announced his retirement from inter-county football after 81 Championship appearances.

With Tadhg Kennelly and Tommy Walsh having moved to Australia and the AFL, and Diarmuid Murphy retired, speculation niow surrounds the future of Mike McCarthy, who came out of retirement last year to play a key role in the Kingdom's Sam Maguire Cup triumph.

O Se won the last of his six All-Ireland medals against old rivals Cork last September, the first having come in 1997.
