Geary calls time on camogie career

CORK camogie Anna Geary has called time on her glittering inter-county career at just 27 years of age.

Last year's All-Ireland-winning skipper says it's time to focus on her career. "Camogie for the past 12 years has been the focal point of my life and I've enjoyed every second of it," said McGeary. "But now, the career has to become my priority. The career and the direction I'm taking means I can't give the same level of commitment to camogie. "And when you're not prepared to give 100 per cent somebody else needs to take that chance."

Geary, the current Cork Rose, plans to complete a Business and Life Coaching Diploma.

The Milford club player won four All-Irelands with the Rebel County and was awarded four Allstar awards.
