Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Infobox Gaelic games player Donal Hurley (1936 – 21 January 2022) was an Irish Gaelic footballer, hurler and coach. At club level played with club sides Lees, Erin's Hope and St Finbarr's, and at inter-county level with the Cork senior football team.

Playing career

Hurley first played Gaelic football for Cork as full-forward on the minor team during the unsuccessful 1954 Munster MFC campaign.[1] A year later, he was part of the St Finbarr's team that won the Cork SHC title after beating Glen Rovers in the final.[2] Hurley added a Cork SFC medal to his collection in 1956, while he also had the distinction of winning a Dublin SFC title with Erin's Hope the same year, as his teacher-training studies in the capital made him eligible to play with the club.[3]

After returning to Cork, Hurley resumed his club career with St Finbarr's in 1957. He won a second Cork SFC title that year, before claiming a third winners' medal as team captain in 1959.[4] By that stage, Hurley had joined the Cork senior football team. He served as team captain in 1960.[5]

Coaching career

In retirement from playing, Hurley became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector when St Finbarr's beat St Michael's to win the Cork SFC in 1976.[6] He was also a selector when St Finbarr's became All-Ireland Club SFC champions in 1987.[7]

Personal life and death

Hurley spent his entire working life as a teacher at the North Monastery Primary School in Cork.[8] He died on 21 January 2022, at the age of 85.[9] Hurley was posthumously honoured when the cup for the newly created Cork PJFC was named in his honour.[10]
