Brian Hurley: Heeding media critics drags you down 'into the gutter'

Cork footballer Brian Hurley has refused to engage with criticism of the team because doing so would only draw him down “into the gutter”.

The Castlehaven attacker hasn’t featured for the Rebels since sustaining a horror hamstring injury last July which has required eight months of rehabilitation.

But he is aware of the negative press surrounding the team following a difficult 12 months or so that has left Peadar Healy’s team concerned by relegation to Division 3.
