Alan Lotty

Alan Lotty, who lived from 15 July 1920 to 10 February 1973, was an Irish hurler who played for the Cork Championship club Sarsfields and for the Cork senior hurling team for 10 years, usually lining out as a corner-back or wing-back. He broke onto Sarsfields' top adult team at sixteen in 1937, during a barren spell for the club, and played his last club game in 1950. With Cork he was part of the minor team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1938, joined the senior team in 1939, was ever-present as a corner-back or wing-back with 30 championship appearances until 1949, and was part of five All-Ireland winning teams, in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1946. He also won five Munster Championship medals and three National Hurling League medals. He played in two championship campaigns with Munster but ended his career without a Railway Cup medal after finishing as runner-up in 1941 and 1947.
