Jim Dermody

Jim Dermody, who lived from 1 September 1898 to 9 February 1975, was an Irish hurler from Three Castles, County Kilkenny, whose league and championship career as a goalkeeper with the Kilkenny senior team lasted several years between 1922 and 1934. He first played with the Threecastles club, spent a period with the Kilkenny club in New York and returned to join Tullaroan, with whom he won a county championship medal in 1930. He first played for Kilkenny in 1922 as a replacement for Mark McDonald, winning a Leinster medal but missing the All-Ireland victory, and after almost a decade away returned as first-choice goalkeeper in 1931, winning two All-Ireland medals and three further Leinster medals. He won back-to-back Railway Cup medals with Leinster in 1932, as captain, and 1933, and had earlier represented the United States team in the 1928 Tailteann Games.
