Michael Collins (hurler)

Michael "Mick" Collins (1940 – 13 June 2009) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-back with the Wexford senior team.

[1][2][3] Born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Collins was introduced to hurling in his youth.

In retirement from playing Collins served as chairman of the Enniscorthy Rapparees hurling club.

[2][1] In 1964 Collins was full-back on the Enniscorthy Shamrocks team that reached their very first championship decider.

A record 64-point scoreline and eleven goals were produced in a sometimes ill-tempered and disappointing contest.
