Two captains, leading from the front
Carey's club, Young Irelands from Gowran, has never had a winning captain, whereas Browne is following a proud tradition of eight Blackrock men with the distinction. But as hurlers, he would be the first to acknowledge that Carey is in a different league.
Browne never denied he has to work hard on his hurling and that honest approach has benefited him. Over the years he has contributed some vital goals, through his strength and his courage, in throwing himself around packed goalmouths.
