Hurling hands: Brian Hogan - 'A couple of the hurleys I played All-Irelands with, I wouldn’t use them now to beat cattle'

I did break a finger before an All-Ireland final, in 2010. I knew it was gone straight away. I had broken it on the Wednesday night before the All-Ireland semi-final

Former Kilkenny hurler Brian Hogan: I got off fairly lightly

I broke three fingers while playing - I got a pin in my thumb one time, and I got two breaks in the hand I hold the hurley with. The other break was the little finger on my catching hand.
