As Dunloy’s biggest game in two decades draws closer, Gregory O’Kane admits he is “gutted” as one of their most consistent performers this season is set to miss Sunday’s clash with Ballyhale.
The Antrim side lost out in the All-Ireland Club Hurling finals of 1995, ’96, 2003 and ’04 with O’Kane featuring in them all. They’ll be hoping for better luck in their fifth attempt at landing the Tommy Moore Cup.
Speaking at their recent press night, O’Kane expressed his anguish that talented defender Aaron Crawford has been ruled out after breaking his collarbone in the semi-final victory over St Thomas’ of Galway last month.
