EXPLAINED: Anthony nash cork legend patrick horgan taking canning record will be unbelievable achievement | Rare Historical Photos

It's a formality that Patrick Horgan will become the Championship’s all-time leading scorer on Sunday, something which former teammate Anthony Nash hails as an “unbelievable achievement”.

Horgan goes into Cork’s clash with Waterford with 22-501 to his name across 67 games since making his Championship debut back in 2008, a point behind Joe Canning (27-487), who overtook Henry Shefflin’s all-time record in his final game before retiring last summer, also against Waterford.

With a scoring average north of eight points per game, barring injury, it’s inconceivable that the ace-freetaker won’t get the couple of points he needs to take the record outright at Walsh Park.
