John Commins (born 26 September 1965) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Galway senior team.
That same year Commins made his debut as goalkeeper on the senior hurling team, with Galway reaching their second consecutive All-Ireland final.
In the game against Cork Commins ran the length of the pitch to score a 21-yard free, however, victory still went to the Munster champions.
Commins had another solid performance as goalkeeper and claimed his second All-Ireland title in the process, before later winning his first All-Star award.
The side had contemplated withdrawing from the championship in protest, however, they decided to play, eventually losing out to Tipp in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Cork scored 4 goals in the second half and Commins was the scapegoat for the 5-15 to 2-21 defeat and was dropped from the Galway team for the 1991 championship.
