Séamus Cullinane

Séamus Cullinane, who lived from 1933 to August 2002, was an Irish hurler from Cahernashelleeney, Claregalway, County Galway, who played as a left wing-back for the Galway senior team. He first played hurling at St. Mary's College, joined the Galway minor team and made his senior debut in the 1954 championship, playing a bit part for Galway over the next few years and enjoying little success in terms of silverware, though he was an All-Ireland runner-up once. He represented Connacht at inter-provincial level without success in the Railway Cup, and at club level was a four-time championship medallist with Castlegar. He made just two championship appearances for Galway and retired after the 1958 championship. In retirement he became a coach and manager and was a selector when Athenry reached their first championship decider in 1977.
