What a hurler this guy was, three All-Ireland’s and three All Stars for the man from Borris-Ileigh Brendan Maher, he walks away from the Tipperary hurling panel at the age of 32 and he can be certainly happy with what he achieved in his time wearing the blue and gold.
Tipperary were knocked out of this years Championship by Liam Cahill’s Waterford in a cracking game of hurling and Tipperary left it all out there on the pitch. But now with the winter approaching you will have guys moving on and will Liam Sheedy stay on for another year?

Brendan Maher was some hurler.
Throwback to the winter of 2019, when, in the lashings of rain, he pulled off one of the greatest first touches of all-time 🥰pic.twitter.com/OamEfd5a8o

If there was 1 Tipp man we’d have loved to have in kk it was Brendan Maher pound for pound the most important player for Tipperary since 2009
Humble consistent & a real leader

Brendan Maher’s brilliant point with broken hurley at end of 2020 All-Ireland club semi final, was outstanding for Borris-Ileigh that winter.
6 All-Ireland medals in total with Tipperary teams and instrumental to all those successes. https://t.co/MgqXZZ1MZe

Brendan Maher is an all time great & was before he retired today. All Ireland winning captain at minor and senior level says it all. Loved watching him gathering & clearing ball for Tipp and still do for Borris. Leader, warrior, sound- an absolute gentleman. Tipperary hero 👏 pic.twitter.com/7hC2KTVBEb
