Rising star Lehane hails influence of Rebel greats

Conor Lehane shot the lights out Saturday evening in Páirc Uí Rinn, ending with seven points from play in the home side’s Allianz HL Division 1 win over Waterford.

Not much of a surprise to those who have seen him dazzle with his club, Midleton, but a fine introduction to the hurling world at large. Afterwards he paid tribute to the support he’s received from his older teammates.

“I couldn’t have asked for any more from them in the last while, they’ve been brilliant,” said Lehane.
