Hiney sets sights on Dublin return

DUBLIN defender Stephen Hiney is bidding to overcome a serious eye injury and return to hurling.

The Ballyboden St Enda’s dual player suffered from fluid behind the retina in both eyes and underwent surgery last October.

Hiney, who played a key role at full-back in helping Dublin escape relegation to the Christy Ring Cup last summer, was told by doctors he should never play contact sport again.
