Mick Morrissey (6 June 1933 – 22 March 1993) was an Irish hurler from County Carlow who played as a left wing-back for the Wexford and New York senior teams.
[4][5] Aged 18 Mick became an apprentice draper in New Ross, County Wexford, and soon joined the local Geraldine O'Hanrahan's hurling club.
After losing the intermediate championship decider to Faythe Harriers in 1956, O'Hanrahan's bounced back to reach the final again in 1957.
[6] Morrissey made his senior debut for Wexford during the 1954-55 National League and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen.
He was a substitute for the team's opening championship games, before making his debut on 17 July 1955 in the drawn Leinster decider with Kilkenny.
[citation needed] Morrissey added a National Hurling League medal to his collection in 1956 as Tipperary were bested by 5-9 to 2-14.
The game turned on one important incident as the Wexford goalkeeper, Art Foley, made a miraculous save from a Ring shot and cleared the sliotar up the field to set up another attack.
He trained the New York team that were narrowly defeated by Cork on an aggregate score of 5–21 to 6–16 in the final of the 1969–70 National League.
