Injury setback for 2013 Cork hurling champions as Lehane is ruled out

Conor Lehane will miss out on Midleton’s upcoming games.

CORK SENIOR HURLER Conor Lehane has been hit with an injury setback after tearing his quad muscle and will miss out as his club Midleton attempt to claim back the county senior hurling title that they last won in 2013.

Lehane was in action in Midleton’s recent Cork senior hurling fourth round victory against St Finbarr’s but suffered the injury in a challenge game against Waterford side Tallow.

Midleton boss Jerry Wallis confirmed to The Evening Echo today that Lehane will now miss their county senior hurling quarter-final against Douglas along with a potential semi-final against Glen Rovers or Newtownshandrum.

Here’s the best of Lehane’s scores from that game.

    Junior isnt a fighter – hes a comedy act. He couldve been something special but he got caught up in his own hype, started living off of the idea that daddys success meant all he had to do was sit back and let the titles roll in. Got caught up in his own delusion and wasted the potential he had. Its a shame but its hard to be sympathetic, he got the breaks that other fighters never got and he didnt appreciate it.

    Difficult to decide who I dislike less! Might actually be Eubank. Thrash talk in the build up should be comical but one thing’s for sure, I won’t be shelling out for this one!
