CORK GREAT PATRICK HORGAN has become the top-scorer of all-time in the hurling championship after hitting 0-4 against Waterford, surpassing Joe Canning.
Heading into this weekend, Horgan’s record stood at 22-501 from 67 games. He hit four frees in Walsh Park as Cork registered their first win of the Munster championship to bring his total to 22-505 (571).
Canning racked up 567, 27-486 in his career, between his debut in 2008 and his retirement last year. That put him ahead of Kilkenny’s Henry Shefflin, who amassed 27-484 (565) in 71 games.
What an incredible achievement for @Hoggie088 and his family. Trust me, the hours he put in far surpass what anyone would guess!! Congrats Legend.
