Hurler of the year Cian Lynch believes taking a virtual complete break from hurling will serve him well in 2022.

Awarded the PwC accolade for the second time in four seasons last Friday, the Patrickswell man has only lifted a hurley twice since the club were beaten by Kilmallock in the Limerick SHC final on October 24.
