Dean Brosnan (born 24 June 1991) is an Irish hurler who plays for Cork Senior Championship club Glen Rovers. He was a member of the Cork senior hurling team for three seasons, during which time he usually lined as a forward, either in the half-forward or full-forward line.
Playing career[edit]
University College Cork[edit]
During his studies at University College Cork, Brosnan was selected for the college's senior hurling team on a number of occasions. On 3 March 2012, he won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal after coming on as a 55th-minute substitute for Dan McCormack when the university defeated the Cork Institute of Technology by 2-15 to 2-14 in the final.[1]
Glen Rovers[edit]
Brosnan joined the Glen Rovers club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, winning a Cork Under-21 Championship medal as a 17-year-old in 2008. He made his first appearance for the club's senior team on 8 August 2009 in a 1-21 to 0-13 Cork Senior Championship quarter-final defeat by Newtownshandrum.
On 11 October 2015, Brosnan won his first Cork Senior Championship medal after scoring three points from play when Glen Rovers defeated Sarsfields by 2-17 to 1-13 in the final.[2]
Brosnan won his second Cork Senior Championship medal on 9 October 2016 when he scored four points in a 0-19 to 2-11 defeat of Erin's Own in the final.[3]
On 20 October 2019, Brosnan played in his fifth final when Glen Rovers faced Imokilly. Lining out at right wing-forward, he scored two points from play but ended the game on the losing side following a 2-17 to 1-16 defeat.[4]
Cork[edit]
Minor and under-21[edit]
Brosnan first played for Cork at minor level on 24 June 2009 and scored 1-01 in a 5-17 apiece draw with Tipperary in the Munster Championship.[5] His one season in this grade ended without silverware.
Brosnan was subsequently selected for the Cork under-21 team and made his first appearance on 3 August 2011 as a substitute in a 4-20 to 1-27 Munster Championship defeat by Limerick.[6] He was included on the Cork under-21 team the following year.[citation needed]
Senior[edit]
Brosnan was added to the Cork senior hurling panel in late 2015 and made his first appearances during the pre-season 2016 Munster League.[7][8] He was an unused substitute for Cork's subsequent National Hurling League and All-Ireland Championship matches.
Brosnan made his first National League appearance 11 February 2017, replacing Shane Kingston in a 0-21 to 1-11 defeat of Clare.[9] He later made his first Munster Championship appearance on 18 June, coming on as a substitute for Alan Cadogan in a 0-21 to 1-15 defeat of Waterford at the semi-final stage.[10] On 9 July, he won his first Munster Championship medal as a non-playing substitute following a 1-25 to 1-20 defeat of Clare in the final.[11]
On 1 July 2018, Brosnan won a second successive Munster Championship medal after being introduced as a 73rd-minute for Lorcán McLoughlin in Cork's 2-24 to 3-19 defeat of Clare in the final.[12]
