Pat Mulcahy (Cork hurler)

Pat Mulcahy (born 25 August 1975) is an Irish hurler who played as a Full back for the Cork senior team.

Mulcahy made his first appearance for the team during the 1997 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement almost a decade later.

He tasted his first major success with the club in 1996 when he won a county intermediate championship medal following a 0-12 to 0-9 defeat of Cloyne.

As a result of this victory Newtown joined the top tier of club hurling in Cork for the first time in history.

That same year Mulcahy lined out with the Avondhu divisional team that reached the final of the county senior championship.

A 0-17 to 0-9 defeat of three-in-a-row hopefuls Blackrock gave Mulcahy his third county senior championship medal.

[6] While many expected Newtownshandrum to go into decline, the team bounced back in 2009 to reach another county championship final.

[citation needed] Mulcahy made his senior debut for Cork in their opening championship game against Kerry in 2000.

A close game developed, however, a Martin Comerford goal secured the title for "the Cats" on a score line of 1-14 to 1-11.

[citation needed] In 2004, because of a car accident he missed most of Cork's successful championship campaign, however, he returned at corner-back the following year.

A Ben O'Connor goal on that occasion helped Cork to a 1-21 to 1-16 victory and a first All-Ireland medal for Mulcahy.
