Biography

Andrew Quinn (born 25 May 1983) is an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Clare senior hurling team.
Quinn made his first appearance for the team during the 1994-95 National League and became a regular member of the starting fifteen over the next decade. During that time he won one Munster medal on the field of play while he also won two All-Ireland medals as a non-playing substitute. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Quinn is a one-time county club championship medalist with Tulla.
His brother, Brian Quinn, also played hurling with Clare.

Playing career

Club

Quinn plays his club hurling with Tulla and has enjoyed some success.


In 2007 Tulla reached the final of the county championship for the first time in almost seventy-five years. Crusheen, a team who had never won the title, provided the opposition. Quinn's brother Brian scored a crucial goal as Tulla secured a 1-7 to 0-9 victory. The victory gave Quinn a coveted championship medal.

Inter-county

Quinn first came to prominence on the inter-county scene at under-age levels with Clare.

He made his senior debut for Clare in a National Hurling League game against Meath in 2002 and later became a regular impact sub during the subsequent championship campaign. In spite of losing their opening game Clare surprised the hurling world by qualifying for the All-Ireland final. Quinn came on as a substitute once again as his side put up a good fight against Kilkenny. A combined tally of 2-13 for Henry Shefflin and D. J. Carey gave "the Cats" a seven-point victory.

Quinn continued to line out with Clare for the next few seasons but called time on his inter-county career following the team's exit from the 2007 championship.
