Hurley sticks out as a jewel in the crown for Garryowen

GARRYOWEN believe they have discovered a gem of a scrum-half in Midleton boy Gerry Hurley.

A product of Rockwell College, the 21-year-old Hurley has burst on the AIB League scene this season with outstanding results for his club.

He has been at the heart of their challenge for a top-four place and came up trumps again on Saturday when Garryowen scraped the 26-20 victory over Blackrock College that clinched a home semi-final against Belfast Harlequins in two weeks’ time.
