The John Horgan column: Blackrock and the Glen is great for hurling purists

Cian McCarthy, Blackrock, and Adam Lordan, Glen Rovers, battling in last year's U21 P1 Hurling Championship. The club meet next Sunday in the Premier Senior decider. Picture: Jim Coughlan.
The Glen and the Rockies are household names across the GAA landscape and were once upon a time two of the most feared clubs in the country such was their success at home, in the province and on the national stage.

They were still five down at the interval only to replicate the Rockies thereafter with their fighting spirit again coming to the forefront.

The Glen will come in from Blackpool too more determined than ever to add another title which would be their third in six years. That would be some going in a championship that is still hugely difficult to win.
