Patrick Reeves

Patrick Reeves (1865 to 1 November 1896) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for the Limerick senior team in the earliest years of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. His championship career with Limerick lasted three seasons, from 1887 until 1889. He made his inter-county debut in the 1887 championship, the inaugural one, when the Commercials club represented Limerick. That year Limerick defeated Louth in the final, and Reeves won the only All-Ireland medal of his career. He died in November 1896, aged about thirty one. The surviving record of him is brief and centres on that single title and the three seasons he gave to the Limerick team.
