Playing career

[edit]

Daly first made an impression as a hurler and Gaelic footballer in the local street leagues in Blackpool.[2][failed verification] He soon joined the Glen Rovers club and joined the senior team in 1956. In a 15-year club career he won seven Cork SHC titles. He was also a dual Munster Club Championship-winner and also won two Cork SFC titles with sister club St. Nicholas'.[3][4] Daly had a brief inter-county career with the Cork senior hurling team. He was a reserve when Cork were beaten by Wexford in the 1956 All-Ireland final.[5]

Coaching career

[edit]

When Daly's club career with Glen Rovers ended in 1971, he remained involved as trainer of the team. He guided the team to victory over St. Rynagh's in the 1973 All-Ireland club final.

Personal life and death
