Brian Hurley admits the massive high he felt after scoring a wonder point against St Finbarr’s last weekend made the postponement of the Cork SFC final all the harder to take.

Hurley’s stunning sideline effort, which bore all the hallmarks of the one which Maurice Fitzgerald scored against Dublin in Thurles 19 years ago, looked to be a winning score for Castlehaven in Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday night (of last week) before a late Stephen Sherlock free forced extra-time.
