Wishing Seamus Hickey the very best of luck in his retirement from inter county hurling. He had a distinguished career with Limerick and brought great pride to our club and has been a tremendous role model for our club giving great guidance and leadership to our younger players

Best wishes to @LimerickCLG's Séamus Hickey on his retirement from inter-county Hurling. Here's a shot of Séamus lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup in #CrokePark back in August. 🏆 pic.twitter.com/vrYqqUhDnP
