Alfie Cullen

Alfie Cullen, born Alfred Joseph Cullen on 13 January 1913 in Kilkenny and living until 10 May 1998, was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-back and full-back for the Kilkenny senior team. He first played hurling at CBS Kilkenny, joined the Kilkenny minor team at thirteen and the senior panel during the 1936 championship. He remained a non-playing substitute for most of his career, winning two Leinster medals in that role. At club level he began with Erin's Own before joining Dicksboro. He retired from inter-county hurling before the 1939 championship and then became involved in team management and coaching, as trainer guiding the Dicksboro minor team to three successive championships.
