Flynn hangs up his hurl
Waterford veteran Paul Flynn has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling after 16-years in the Deise jersey.
The 2004 All Star was a peripheral figure on the Waterford side this year with his last appearance coming as a substitute in the All-Ireland final defeat to Kilkenny.
A winner of three Munster titles and a league medal in 2007, the Ballygunner forward was at the forefront as his county ended a 39-year drought by claiming the 2002 Munster title.
One of the top scorers in the game for over a decade, Flynn came to prominence in 1992 as he featured on a losing Waterford side in the All-Ireland minor hurling final before playing at corner forward on a winning U21 hurling side in the same year.
"It's just time," revealed Flynn. "I've given what I can and it's time to move on now."
