Morgan Madden

Morgan Madden (8 April 1906 - January 1962) was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Cork senior team.

Madden made his senior championship debut for Cork on a 15 July 1928 in a 2-2 apiece Munster final draw with the Clare.

Mick "Gah" Ahern ran riot scoring 5–4, a record for an All-Ireland final, as Cork triumphed by 6–12 to 1–0.

Cork exited the championship at the first hurdle in 1930, however, Madden finished the year by winning a second league medal following a 3–5 to 3–0 defeat of Dublin the decider.

The first half was closely contested, with a goal from "Gah" Ahern helping Cork to a half-time lead of 1–3 to 0–2.

Kilkenny's Lory Meagher was playing the best hurling of his career at this time and scored a magnificent point from 90 yards out the field.

In spite of this great effort a winner couldn't be found and both sides finished level again at 2-5 apiece.

It was also suggested at a meeting of Central Council that both teams be declared joint champions and that half an All-Ireland medal by given to each player.

As the All-Ireland saga went to a third meeting on 1 November 1931, Kilkenny's captain Meagher was ruled out of the game because of broken ribs sustained in the first replay.
