Blackrock and Cork legend John Horgan, who died yesterday, was a member of the three-in-a-row All-Ireland winning senior hurling team of 1976-78 and was also an All-Ireland winner in his first season in 1970.

John Lenihan has spent 42 years manning the fortress that is Fitzgerald Stadium. And a fortress it most certainly is, yesterday’s Munster final win extending Kerry’s unbeaten run against Cork in Killarney to an 18th season at their spiritual home.
