Pat Delaney (born 27 July 1954 in Kinnitty, County Offaly, Ireland) is a retired Irish hurling manager and former player.
These victories later saw Kinnitty play in the final of the Leinster club championship; however, Delaney's side were defeated on all three occasions.
He made his senior debut in October 1974 when he lined out in the number 10 jersey against Antrim in the National Hurling League.
It was Offaly's first-ever senior provincial title; however, only about 8,000 people were present at Croke Park to witness the historic occasion.
Offaly's dream season came to an end in the All-Ireland semi-final as Galway defeated Delaney's side by two points in the first-ever meeting between these two bordering counties.
Delaney's performance throughout the championship failed to earn him an All-Star award; however, he was named as the Texaco Hurler of the Year.
