Martin Storey (born 28 September 1964) is an Irish former hurler who played as a centre-forward at senior level for the Wexford county team.
Storey played his club hurling with Oulart–The Ballagh and enjoyed much success in a career that spanned three decades.
In 1994 Oulart–The Ballagh made the big breakthrough in the championship and Storey was in the forward line as the club reached the decider.
St. Martin's provided the opposition on that occasion, however, a narrow 1-14 to 0-16 victory gave Storey his first championship medal.
Storey first came to prominence on the inter-county scene in the early 1980s as a member of the Wexford minor and under-21 hurling teams.
In the final of that competition Wexford drew with arch rivals and All-Ireland champions Kilkenny and there was hope of success.
Wexford later defeated Galway in the penultimate game of the championship, setting up an All-Ireland final meeting with Limerick.
Tom Dempsey was the hero of the day as he scored a goal after nineteen minutes to give Wexford a major advantage.
1997, however, saw the introduction of the so-called ‘back-door’ system whereby the defeated Munster and Leinster finalists were allowed back into the All-Ireland championship at the quarter-final stage.
The following few years proved difficult as Wexford and Storey faced a resurgent Kilkenny that would win the next six Leinster titles.
Storey retired from inter-county hurling in 2000 following two years of heavy defeats for Wexford in the provincial championship.
[10] He returned briefly the following season, making substitute appearances against Tipperary in the drawn and replayed All-Ireland semi-finals.
In August 2013, following the death of Pat Cody, he was nominated as a Labour Party member of Wexford County Council.
