Lohan Retires

ALL-Ireland winning legend Frank Lohan has announced his retirement from the Clare senior hurling squad.

The 33-year-old was on the McCarthy Cup winning team back in 1995 but has decided to quit after making a successful comeback this season.

"I'm glad I came back for 2008 because the previous year had gone so bad," said Lohan. "We recovered ground this year. We were disappointed with the way we played against Tipperary in the Munster final and we felt we should have beaten Cork. But at least our stock is higher than it was."

Fellow Clare hero Niall Gilligan is also considering his future with the county team. "My mind isn't made up completely yet but I'm thinking that way," Gilligan declared.
