Kidney salutes Cork Con coach’s role as youth gets its fling

MUNSTER coach Declan Kidney has praised his Cork Constitution counterpart Brian Walsh for helping shape young full back Denis Hurley’s career.

The talented Hurley vied for man of the match honours in an impressive Munster display against Glasgow Warriors at Musgrave Park.

And Kidney observed: “I know that Brian has been working hard with Denis to help him become a better player. All we can ask when they reach us is that they be themselves. I think Denis was like that against Glasgow; he had a similar type game as he did in the AIB League final last week and proved he is up for it. That augers well for the future.”
