Brian Hurley never had any doubt Cork would return to Division 1 in his career. I suppose if my body played ball with me, I would have liked to have been there a bit earlier. Him getting a taste of Division 1 next year is going to be massive for the likes of him. You'd probably playing a challenge game anyway, so to be playing Meath in Croke Park will be a good test for the championship. Hopefully, that crowd will come to Croke Park next week, bring out the kids and show them the big house.”
