Liam Rushe, a 36-year-old veteran, announced his retirement from inter-county hurling following a career that included two All-Star awards and a Leinster title. Rushe had recently made an unexpected return to the Dublin panel after previously stepping away in 2022, most recently playing in the Leinster final against Galway.

Shortly after Rushe’s announcement, Dublin captain Chris Crummey also announced his retirement. Crummey, 33, concluded a 13-year career that began in 2013, during which he was a three-time All-Star nominee and a key figure in the team’s 2013 Leinster championship victory.
