Jeremiah "Jer" Doheny (20 July 1874 – 11 August 1929) was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.
The son of John and Annie Doheny and the cousin of another great Kilkenny hurler, Pat 'Fox' Maher, he was educated locally and later, like many of his contemporaries, he worked as a farmer in nearby Tullaroan.
After their three-in-a-row bid faltered Tullaroan were back in 1904, with Doheny picking up a sixth county winners’ medal.
After the original venue was unplayable the goalposts were uprooted and spectators and players alike moved to the Phoenix Park after a long delay.
Doheny tcollected a third Leinster medal in 1897, as Kilkenny claimed the provincial title after receiving a walkover from Wexford.
On 20 November 1898 Kilkenny faced Limerick in the All-Ireland decider, as both sides were hoping to win the title for the first time.
"The Cats" dominated for the opening twenty-three minutes, however, controversy reigned over hand-passed scores which were awarded to Kilkenny in spite of being illegal at the time.
The game against Dublin ended in a 1-5 apiece draw, however, Kilkenny were subsequently awarded the title by the Leinster Council.
Doheny's side later trounced Antrim before lining out against Cork in the All-Ireland home final which wasn't played until 11 July 1905.
Doheny, who was captain of the team, added a seventh Leinster medal to his collection in 1904 as Kilkenny recorded a 2-8 to 2-6 defeat of Dublin in the provincial decider.
He served as chairman of the Kilkenny County Board from 1908 until 1912 and remained active in GAA affairs for the rst of his life.
