Paddy Delea

Paddy Delea, formally Patrick Delea, was an Irish hurler who lived from 26 October 1900 until his death on 20 April 1969. He played hurling with his local club Blackrock and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 1922 until 1931. He was born in Blackrock, County Cork, and played his club hurling with the famous Blackrock club, winning his first senior county title in 1924 and adding further titles in the years that followed. He is identified here as the Blackrock hurler of the 1920s to tell him apart from other people of the same name.
