TJ Reid's retirement has era-ending sense to it.
One of four brilliant forwards who made senior hurling championship debut in June 2008 - along with Joe Canning, Patrick Horgan and Seamus Callanan, they had dominant impact on the game.

The dedication by @loughnane_billy to make the weight, to ride Libertango, is nothing short of amazing. His natural body weight should be around 11st, and he would have to drop to 8st5lbs to ride tonight. Deserves everything he has achieved . 🏆 👏🏻

From all of us at @EastCorkGAA, we wish Séamus Harnedy the very best on his retirement from the @OfficialCorkGAA hurling team.
With four Munster titles, three All-Stars & a National Hurling League medal, he’s had an incredible career for the Rebels since his debut in 2013. (1/2)

When you’re one of our country’s greatest ever athletes, and you’ve waiting your whole life to perform at our national stadium, you deserve a rendition of our national anthem like this…

This whole Mayo story has properly got into my head.
The fact that they’re all doing it for the love and pride of their county over any sort of financial gain is so uplifting. That’s what sport should be all about when you boil it down to its essence.

That’s absolutely sensational.
Mayo lost 11 finals 1989, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021 (including 1996 and 2016 being lost on replays) between their last All-Ireland victory in 1951 and this one.
Generational relief on show. Class.

Seamus harnedy, god he has been some servant to cork hurling, he gave defences all over Ireland a hard time, he has been corks leader for the past decade, a real ball winner when needed most, drove at defences, ghosting in behind and unbelievable accuracy. 💪💪💪💪💪💪
