Cathal Casey (born 4 September 1967) is an Irish former hurler who played as a right wing-back for the Cork senior team.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Casey won one Railway Cup medal as a non-playing substitute.
University College Galway provided the opposition, however, a comfortable 1-14 to 1-3 victory gave Casey a second successive winners' medal.
[citation needed] Casey won a fourth Fitzgibbon Cup winners' medal in five years in 1991 as University College Cork were accounted for by 1-14 to 1-6.
Defeats of Cobh and St Ita's in the respective football and hurling deciders, secured a set of junior b championship medals.
A knee injury ruled Casey out of St Catherine's successful intermediate championship campaign in 1994, however, a decade later he was still a key member of the starting fifteen.
Casey scored a point from wing-back to secure an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal in Cork's 3-10 to 0-12 victory.
Four Cork goals, one from John Fenton, two from Tomás Mulcahy and one from Kevin Hennessy, stymied the Galway attack and helped the Rebels to a 4–13 to 2–15 victory.
He was later included on Cork's championship panel but didn't make his debut until 18 June 1989 in a 5-16 to 4-17 Munster semi-final replay defeat by Waterford.
Galway were once again the red-hot favourites and justified this tag by going seven points ahead in the opening thirty-five minutes thanks to a masterful display by Joe Cooney.
The game was effectively decided on an incident which occurred midway through the second half when Cork goalkeeper Ger Cunningham blocked a point-blank shot from Martin Naughton with his nose.
At half-time Cork were two points ahead, however, two second-half goals by John Power and Michael Phelan supplemented a first-half D. J. Carey penalty which gave Kilkenny a 3-10 to 1-12 victory.
In December 2006 Casey joined the Cork senior hurling backroom team as a selector under Gerald McCarthy.
