James Clancy (1890 – 21 January 1971) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Newmarket-on-Fergus, and also lined out at inter-county level with Clare and Dublin.
Career
[edit]Clancy first played hurling in his local area with the Newmarket-on-Fergus club. He was part of the Newmarket team that succeeded in winning their very first Clare SHC title in 1912, before claiming a second winners' medal in 1916.[1] Clancy's performances at club level quickly earned him a call-up to the Clare senior hurling team. He won a Munster SHC medal in 1914, before later lining out at wing-back in Clare's defeat of Laois in the 1914 All-Ireland final.[2][3][4] Clancy continued lining out for Clare until 1928, by which stage he had won further Clare SHC honours.
Death
[edit]Clancy died in Ennis on 21 January 1971, at the age of 80.[5]
