Joseph Harney (1935 – 17 April 2020) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Ballydurn and at inter-county level with the Waterford senior hurling team.
Career
[edit | edit source]Harney first played hurling as a schoolboy at Newtown National School before later attending St Augustine's College in Dungarvan. He first played for the Ballydurn club at minor level as a 14-year-old, while also lining out with Dunhill-O'Briens and Clonea before returning to line out at adult level with Ballydurn.
Harney was part of Waterford's junior team that lost to Kerry in the 1956 Munster junior final.[1] He later progressed to the senior team and was a non-playing substitute when Kilkenny beat Waterford by 4-10 to 3-12 in the 1957 All-Ireland final. Harney made his debut in a National Hurling League game against Cork the following year. He was at right corner-back when Waterford beat Kilkenny by 3-12 to 1-10 in the 1959 All-Ireland final replay.[2][3]
Harney retired from inter-county hurling in 1962 but had his first club success that year when Ballydurn won the Waterford JHC title after a defeat of Fourmilewater. He made a brief return to inter-county activity when he was recalled to the Waterford team in 1967. Harney ended his club career by winning a Waterford IHC title in 1973.[4]
