Tony O'Shaughnessy

Anthony "Tony" O'Shaughnessy (6 July 1930 – 15 December 2006) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back at senior level for the Cork county team.

At club level he won a combined total of three championship medals as a dual player with St Finbarr's.

He later won his first Munster medal courtesy of a late Paddy Barry goal which secured a 1–11 to 2–6 defeat of four-in-a-row hopefuls Tipperarymedal.

The result remained in doubt right up to the final whistle, however, Cork secured a 3–3 to 0–8 victory giving O'Shaughnessy his second All-Ireland medal.

After the match at the Gresham Hotel in Dublin a fight broke out when another Galway player struck Cork's Christy Ring.

[4][5] Cork secured a third successive provincial title in 1954, with O'Shaughnessy collecting a third Munster medal following a narrow 2–8 to 1–8 defeat of Tipperary.

After missing the team's provincial defeat of Limerick due to injury, he was back on the starting fifteen for the subsequent hAll-Ireland final meeting with Wexford on 23 September 1956.

The game has gone down in history as one of the all-time classics as Christy Ring was bidding for a record ninth All-Ireland medal.

The game turned on one important incident as the Wexford goalkeeper, Art Foley, made a miraculous save from a Ring shot and cleared the sliotar up the field to set up another attack.

[7][8] Cork surrendered their Munster title to an up-and-coming Waterford team in 1957, bringing the curtain down on Daly's inter-county career.

He was survived by his wife Kathleen Fitzgerald and five of his six children, Brendan, Michael, Emer, Gerard, and Clare,[citation needed] Partial Reference: Cork GAA website Inter-County SHC Results and Teams.
