Horgan’s Glen hat-trick too much for Killeagh

IT MIGHT be premature to be hail this nine-point victory for the Glen as a return to the glory days, but a young side, coached by the club’s last county-winning captain, Tomas Mulcahy in ‘89, showed enough of that famed Blackpool spirit to win a place in the Evening Echo Cork Co SHC quarter-final.

This game will be remembered for the scoring exploits of 20-year-old Patrick Horgan who bagged 3-6. All three of his goals came from frees, though two were the result of rare goal-line errors by Bernard Rochford.

In a game that rarely rose above the mediocre, Horgan’s impressive strike rate was the brightest highlights. Mulcahy too was impressed.
