Tony Maher
Tony Maher (born 12 January 1945) is an Irish former hurler who played as a right corner-back at senior level for the Cork county team.
Maher made his first appearance for the team during the 1968–69 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1975 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, four Munster medals, three National League medals and two All-Star awards. Maher was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Maher is a two-time All-Ireland medalist with St Finbarr's. In addition to this he has also won four Munster medals and seven county club championship medals.
Maher played his club hurling with St Finbarr's in a club career that spanned three decades.
He made his senior debut just out of the minor ranks in 1964 and became a regular at corner-forward. After losing the championship decider to Glen Rovers that year, "the Barr's" were back for a second successive final the following year. University College Cork provided the opposition, with St Finbarr's winning to a 6–8 to 2–6 scoreline. It was Maher's first championship medal. A subsequent 3–12 to 2–3 win over Waterford's Mount Sion gave him a Munster medal.
After surrendering their titles the following year and losing the final to Glen Rovers in 1967, St Finbarr's bounced back in 1968. Maher collected a second championship medal following a narrow 5–9 to 1–19 defeat of Imokilly.
After an absence of six years St Finbarr's returned to the top table of Cork hurling once again in 1974. In spite of being regarded as underdogs against Blackrock,[citation needed] Con Roche helped "the Barr's" to a 2–17 to 2–14 victory. It was Maher's third championship medal. Newmarket-on-Fergus were the opponents in the subsequent provincial decider A low-scoring 0–7 to 0–3 victory gave Maher his second Munster medal; however, during the game a shin-bone injury brought Bernie Scully's career to an end. The All-Ireland final on St Patrick's weekend saw St Finbarr's take on the Fenians of Kilkenny. St Finbarr's won with a 3–8 to 1–6 victory. It was Maher's first All-Ireland medal.
In 1977 a 1–17 to 1–5 win over north side rivals gave Maher his fourth championship medal. A 2–8 to 0–6 defeat of Sixmilebridge in a replay saw him win his third Munster medal. He later lined out in the All-Ireland final with Rathnure, the Wexford and Leinster champions, providing the opposition. Jimmy Barry-Murphy scored the deciding goal, and a 2–7 to 0–9 victory gave Maher a second All-Ireland medal.
