Horgan’s cameo inspires Con

HE’S not quite the old dog for the hard road just yet, but Anthony Horgan’s experience was certainly of use to Cork Constitution as they qualified for the AIB All-Ireland League decider with a second win over Dolphin in eight days on Saturday.

Horgan bowed out of rugby almost a year ago, coming off the bench to score a try in Munster’s 36-10 Magners League-winning victory over the Ospreys, sealing his place in the province’s history as its all-time top try scorer with 41.

But with Con’s resources severely depleted by Munster call-ups, the 33-year-old was happy to step into the breach, despite being somewhat short on game time.
