Frank Meagher

Frank Meagher, born Francis Meagher in 1897, was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Kilkenny senior team. He made his first appearance for Kilkenny during the 1917 championship and was a regular in the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1920 championship, during which he failed to secure either All-Ireland or Leinster winners' medals. He enjoyed a brief club career with Tullaroan but failed to win a county championship medal. He belonged to a famous Gaelic games dynasty: his father, Henry J. Meagher, was said to have attended the inaugural meeting of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884, his brothers Willie and Henry both played with Kilkenny through the 1920s, and a third brother, Lory, won eight Leinster and three All-Ireland titles in the 1920s and 1930s.
