Apparently he is going to Kilkenny as part of his training as a doctor. Surely a good chance he might still play lads but his professional career must come first. He should be left get on with it without pressure being put on him and in 5 or 6 months time he may be ready to play on his own terms which he certainly deserves
The very best of luck to him. He'd be a very big loss obviously, but yes his life here has to come first. Thanks to him for his massive contribution, and as you say there may be an opportunity later for him to contribute again. He'll surely be a great doctor, and we need them too.
Any chance you’d get him a job in Clon hospital?
He'd never get into that Clon back line.
Eventually yea.. would need a lot of coaching and training by the best in the country to get the hang of the sideways and backwards passing though
Good man Trav. It must be depressing for any ex Cork player retiring and concentrating on club football and playing championship in front of 120 people. Big difference between that and playing with one of the west cork giants.Powter is senior inter county standard.
Hopefully Powter will continue on. Himself and Liam OD either side of Clancy is as good a half back line as there is in the country.
Although a place must be found for Sean White also.
Lads powter has not stepped away and will be with the panel again in the new year.
