Eoin Cadogan

Eoin Cadogan, born on 1 September 1986, is an Irish dual player who has played both hurling and Gaelic football at the highest level for Cork, usually lining out as a full-back or corner-back. He came to prominence at Douglas Community School and with the Douglas club in Cork, and as a dual player at minor and under-21 level he collected Munster medals in both codes and an All-Ireland under-21 football medal in 2007. He joined the Cork senior football panel in 2007, switched to the Cork senior hurlers in 2008, and spent the following decade moving between the two codes, a choice he explained publicly in 2013 as a matter of time and a personal education commitment. With the Cork footballers he won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 2010, Munster titles in 2009 and 2012 and three National Football League titles, and with the hurlers he won Munster medals in 2014 and 2018. In 2021 he played in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final against Limerick, which put him on the short list of players to have appeared in All-Ireland finals in both hurling and football. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling in November 2021.
