Kieran McGuckin

Kieran McGuckin (born 12 September 1967) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Cork senior team.

Born in Ballyvolane, Cork, McGuckin first played competitive hurling during his schooling at the North Monastery.

He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team before later joining the under-21 side.

On 19 May 1985 the North Mon faced St. Brendan's Community School in the All-Ireland decider, having drawn a week earlier.

[citation needed] McGuckin made his senior championship debut as captain of the team on 20 May 1990 in a 3–17 to 3-7 Munster quarter-final defeat of Kerry.

A key moment in the game occurred when Cork goalkeeper Ger Cunningham blocked a point-blank shot from Martin Naughton with his nose.
