Dick Doyle (Wexford hurler)

Dick Doyle, born Richard Doyle and living from 28 April 1878 to 6 July 1946, was an Irish hurler whose championship career with the Wexford team spanned the first decade of the twentieth century. Born in Castlebridge, County Wexford, to Hannagh Lacy and Patrick Doyle, he spent his working life as a farmer after a brief education. He first played hurling with the Castlebridge club and won two county senior championship medals. After impressing at club level he was chosen as captain of the Wexford team in 1909, retained the captaincy the following year and was one of the most deadly forwards on the team. He won a Leinster medal and his only All-Ireland medal in 1910, scoring four goals in the final against Limerick, and he died on 6 July 1946 aged 68.
