David Quirke (hurler)
David Quirke (born 11 July 1970) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-back for the Cork senior team.
Born in Midleton, County Cork, Quirke first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Midleton CBS Secondary School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 1990 championship. Quirke went on to become a regular member of the team for a number of years, winning one All-Ireland medal and one Munster medal.
At club level Quirke is a one-time championship medallist with Midleton.
Throughout his career Quirke made nine championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1996 championship. Following his retirement Quirke became Captain of Fota Island Golf Club 2014 the year the Irish Open was hosted by Fota Island Golf Club. He is currently owner/shareholder/Director of the Cork Based Blackwater Motors/ Audi Cork Group.
In 1987 Quirke was still eligible for the minor grade when he joined the Midleton senior team. He was an unused substitute that year as Midleton defeated Na Piarsaigh by 2-12 to 0-15 to win the championship. He later won a Munster medal as a non-playing substitute following Midleton's narrow 1-12 to 1-11 defeat of Cappawhite. On 17 March 1988 Midleton faced Athenry in the All-Ireland decider and a close game developed. Two early goals by Kevin Hennessy and a kicked goal by Colm O'Neill gave Midleton a 3–8 to 0–9 victory and gave Quirke, who was once again a non-playing substitute, an All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship medal.
Quirke was a regular member of the starting fifteen by 1991 when Midleton reached the championship decider once again. A 1-17 to 1-8 defeat of Glen Rovers gave Quirke a championship medal on the field of play and his second overall.
Quirke first played for Cork as a member of the minor team on 19 May 1987 in a 2-14 t0 2-9 Munster semi-final defeat of Clare. Cork's championship campaign later ended at the hands of Tipperary.
In 1988 Quirke was still eligible for the minor grade and won a Munster medal following a 5-7 to 1-2 trouncing of Tipperary. Cork later qualified for the All-Ireland final against Kilkenny on 4 September 1988. The Cats were too strong on that occasion as Cork were defeated by 3-13 to 0-12.
