Recently retired Cork great Patrick Horgan has joined his county’s Under-20 hurling set-up as a selector.<\/p>\n

Manager Noel Furlong has replaced outgoing selector Vincent Hurley with the Glen Rovers man, who finished up as an inter-county player after 18 seasons in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hurling’s all-time top-scorer played in four All-Ireland finals, including this year’s surprise defeat to Tipperary<\/a>, and despite a Celtic cross eluding him, was named an All-Star on four occasions.<\/p>\n

He also landed four Munster titles, including this year, after Cork also claimed the Allianz Hurling League crown.<\/p>\n

Horgan is the record holder for points scored in both championship 32-683 (779) – ahead of Kilkenny’s TJ Reid – and league 26-674 (758), and will now bring his considerable experience to Furlong\u2019s set-up.<\/p>\n

Furlong was recently appointed U20 manager for a two-year term, replacing Ben O’Connor, who was appointed to the senior manager role after Pat Ryan opted not to seek another term in charge.<\/p>\n

He had previously served as Cork minor hurling boss in 2021, guiding the team to Munster and All-Ireland success.<\/p>\n

A former dual Cork minor himself, Furlong previously enjoyed significant success at club level, winning county titles at senior level (Carrigtwohill, as a player), premier intermediate (Castlelyons), intermediate A (Fr. O\u2019Neill\u2019s), and junior A (Russell Rovers).<\/p>\n

Furlong also coached UCC to Fitzgibbon success in 2020 and served as a Cork senior hurling selector in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently retired Cork great Patrick Horgan has joined his county’s Under-20 hurling set-up as a selector.
