Career[edit]
Cahill first played hurling and Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Cloyne club. He subsequently spent 25 seasons as a player at adult level with the club and won several divisional titles as a dual player as well as a Cork JAHC title in 1987 and a Cork IHC title in 1997.[1] He also earned selection with the Imokilly divisional team and secured the full set of county winners' medals by claiming a Cork SHC title in 1997.[2] Cahill was also part of the Cloyne senior team that lost three consecutive county finals from 2004 to 2006.[3][4][5]
Cahill first appeared on the inter-county scene during an unsuccessful tenure with the Cork minor and under-21 teams. He progressed onto the Cork junior hurling team and was part of the All-Ireland JHC-winning team in 1987.[6] Cahill made a number of National Hurling League appearances with the Cork senior hurling team between 1987 and 1989, however, he was never selected for the championship team. He ended his inter-county career as part of the Cork intermediate hurling team that beat Galway in the 1997 All-Ireland intermediate final.[7]
