Horgan’s crucial role in Cork’s forward march
That’s the Cork full-forward line for Sunday’s Munster Senior Hurling Championship opener against Tipperary in Thurles; precocious yes, and potentially devastating. The most experienced of the trio is O’Sullivan, who made his debut in the 2007 league, but the senior member, pipping O’Sullivan by six months, is Patrick Horgan, and — arguably — also the most vital member.
He had a superb season last year; the main man with his club as Glen Rovers powered their way to a first Cork county final appearance since 1991, while also excelling in the red jersey, the six-point haul in the All-Ireland semi-final loss to Kilkenny his most outstanding performance.
