Dual Player
Dual player or dual star is a term used in Hiberno-English to describe someone who competes in multiple sports — for example, in Victorian Ireland, cricket and hurling. The term today in Gaelic games typically describes a male player who plays both Gaelic football and hurling or, if a female player, a player of ladies' Gaelic football and camogie. The player does not necessarily have to play at the same standard in both sports. The number of dual stars at county level has decreased recently due to the increasing demands placed upon the best players of both sports. List of dual players with All-Ireland titles In 1990, Teddy McCarthy of Cork became the first player to win both a football ''and'' a hurling All-Ireland in the same year. This unique achievement remains intact as of . Ex-Taoiseach Jack Lynch won one football and five hurling All-Irelands with Cork during the 1940s.
