Pat Buckley (Cork hurler)

Patrick Buckley (born 17 September 1965) is an Irish former hurler who played as a midfielder for the Cork senior team.

As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Buckley won one Railway Cup medal as a non-playing substitute.

[citation needed] On 4 June 1989, Buckley made his senior championship debut in an 0-18 apiece Munster semi-final draw with Waterford.

Galway provided the opposition and justified their favourites tag by going seven points ahead in the opening thirty-five minutes thanks to a masterful display by Joe Cooney.

The game was effectively decided on an incident which occurred midway through the second half when Cork goalkeeper Ger Cunningham blocked a point-blank shot from Martin Naughton with his nose.

At half-time Cork were two points ahead, however, two second-half goals by John Power and Michael "Titch" Phelan supplemented a first-half D. J. Carey penalty which gave Kilkenny a 3-10 to 1-12 victory.
