Maurice Francis "Mossy" O'Riordan (1926 - 27 August 2008) was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Cork senior team.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions O'Riordan won two Railway Cup medals.
He immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and later won his first Munster medal following a 3-8 to 1-3 defeat of Limerick.
With ten minutes remaining Cork's lead was reduced to just two points, however, goals by O'Riordan and Joe Kelly secured a 7-6 to 3-8 victory.
A Joe Kelly goal put Cork one point ahead with time almost up, however, Terry Leahy proved to be the hero of the day.
An appendicitis ruled Joe Hartnett out of the game, resulting in Willie John Daly being switched to centre-forward.
[2] On 27 August 2008, Maurice (Mossie) O'Riordan died in Newcastle NSW (Australia), where he had lived for some 40 years, after a severe stroke.
He is buried in East Maitland cemetery (NSW) with his wife, Molly (née Fennell), and his two sons Eoin and Sean.
