Pat Kavanagh (Cork Hurler)
Patrick Kavanagh (born 1952) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer and hurler. At club level he played with Blackrock and St. Michael's and was also a member of the Cork senior football team. Career Kavanagh first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Blackrock. He was part of the club's minor team that won three successive Cork MHC titles from 1967 to 1969. Kavanagh subsequently joined the Blackrock senior team and was part of three All-Ireland SCHC-winning teams. His performances at underage club level earned a call-up to the Cork minor hurling team and, after losing the 1968 All-Ireland minor final to Wexford, went on to secure consecutive All-Ireland MHC titles in 1969 and as team captain in 1970.
