Patrick Horgan: 'We tried a sweeper system and it didn’t suit'

Experienced attacker Pat Horgan has admitted it’s time to pull the plug on the sweeper system and get back to hurling the Cork way.

The 28-year-old ex-AllStar acknowledged that the Rebels’ experimentation with a fortified defence exploded in their faces this year, losing two of their three Championship games.

The only positive from the summer was their three-point home win over Dublin though that was quickly forgotten when they lost to Wexford in a Round 2 qualifier.
