James Byrne (born 1973) is an Irish hurling and Gaelic football coach and former player of both codes. At club level, he played with Fethard St Mogues and University College Dublin and at inter-county level was a dual player at all levels with Wexford.
Playing career
[edit]At club level, Byrne first played for the Fethard St Mogues club as a dual player in the juvenile and underage grades before progressing to adult level. He won a Wexford JAHC title in 1992, followed by a Wexford IHC title in 1994. Byrne won a Wexford SFC medal when Fethard claimed their very first title in 1998, after a 1–09 to 1–06 defeat of Gusserane O'Rahilly's in the final.[1]
Byrne also lined out with University College Dublin during his studies there. He captained the team to the Fitzgibbon Cup title in 1993, and narrowly missed out on a second winners' medal in 2000.[2][3] He also won a Dublin SHC that season, following a 3–15 to 1–09 defeat of St Vincent's in the final.[4]
At inter-county level, Byrne played hurling and Gaelic football for Wexford at all grades from under-14 up to senior. He won a Leinster JFC medal in 1992, before later claiming an All-Ireland JFC medal following Wexford's one-point defeat of Cork in the All-Ireland junior final.[5] Byrne later won a Leinster SHC medal as a substitute, as well as an All-Ireland SHC medal as a substitute following Wexford's defeat of Limerick in 1996.[6]
Coaching career
[edit]Byrne first became involved in team management when he was player-manager with the Fethard St Mogues intermediate hurling team. He became a selector as part of John Meyler's Wexford senior hurling management team in November 2006.[7]
