Retirement from Antrim, a generational hurler, rural depopulation- the future of Ireland

Neil McManus on the GAA Social has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling. What a career. 2007 he made his debut with Antrim, he'll continue to wear the maroon of Cushendall. But there's so much more. His love of the sport, how he describes hurling, its future and the rural depopulation that's hitting the Glens of Antrim. But there's a plan- and McManus is leading! His father was evicted from his Belfast home when the troubles started- but instilled a community feel that's vibrant today in Cushendall. It's an incredible insight into one of the greats.
