Browne says strong team ethic the key to Rockies’ final run

Despite winning 32 Cork senior hurling titles, Blackrock have only won four county U21 championships.

This evening (Páirc Uí Rinn, 5.30pm) against Duhallow, they will aim to win a fifth in the grade. Rockies selector Alan Browne points to a strong team ethic as a key factor in the club reaching the decider.

“When we won three in-a-row in the 1970s, you had the likes of Tom Cashman and Dermot McCurtain on the team, there was a very talented bunch who had come up together,” he said.
