Three of hurling's big names from the past decade have called time on their inter-county careers today.

Brian Hogan and Aidan Fogarty have stepped away from the Kilkenny panel with a total haul of 15 All Ireland medals between them.

They join Tommy Walsh and David Herity in hanging up the black and amber jersey in the past week.

While two-time All Ireland winner, John O'Brien has announced his retirement from the Tipperary set-up.
