Cork All Ireland winning camogie captain Anna Geary has announced her inter county retirement.

Only 27 years of age, Anna from her full back position, led the Rebels to All Ireland glory last September, beating Kilkenny in the decider.

Speaking to Marty Morrissey on this evenings Six One News Anna described her decision as one of the most difficult she ever had to make,

"Camogie for the past 12 years has been the focal point of my life and I've enjoyed every second of it.

"But now, the career has to become my priority. And you know 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% somebody else needs to take that chance''.

Anna was also a Rose of Tralee contestant in 2014, has four senior All Ireland camogie medals, a similar amount of All Star awards and will continue her club career with Milford.
