Brian Hurley: No special players down in Castlehaven

Hard work is, and always has been, the Castlehaven mantra. Brian Hurley is the west Cork club’s marquee forward and will be expected to lead by example as they seek a third Cork SFC title against Nemo Rangers in Páirc Uí Rinn tomorrow (5pm).

But his county status doesn’t mean special treatment amongst his own.

“I came down the Tuesday night after the Kildare game [when Cork were eliminated from the All-Ireland SFC] this year and you don’t look for sympathy around here, I can tell you,” he says.
