Christy Byrne

Christy Byrne is a former Gaelic footballer from County Kildare, Ireland, born in 1971. Gaelic football is the amateur Irish code governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association, and Byrne played it at both club and county level. At club level he represented his local club, Castlemitchell, and at inter-county level he was a member of the Kildare senior team from 1994 to 2003. The Wikipedia article on him describes him as a former Irish sportsperson and, in its infobox, lists his inter-county position as goalkeeper and places Kildare in the province of Leinster. His career therefore ran across the 1990s and the early 2000s, and he is recorded here as a retired player whose county service lasted a decade.
