Wexford's Brian Malone has put to bed rumours that he is retiring from inter-county football.

Speculation was increasing that the long serving Malone wouldn't be donning the purple and gold jersey again.

However, when contacted by the Wexford People during the week, the Shelmaliers' clubman was adamant that he will preparing for the Leinster SFC opener against either Louth or Westmeath on June 14th.

"That's the first I heard of it," was Malone's initial response when contacted. "I've been concentrating on my club's opening two championship rounds. We've had two good wins, but I've not yet been looking ahead to the provincial test.

"But the mention of retirement is what it is, a rumour. I will put the club games behind me and then prepare for the first round game against Louth or Westmeath. There's no question of me retiring. Maybe some would like me to retire, but that's not the case."
