Shane Barrett (born 31 January 2001) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Blarney and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a centre-forward.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born and raised in Rathpeacon, County Cork, Barrett first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Christian Brothers College, Cork. He progressed through the various age grades before joining the school's senior team in 2017.[1] Barret's final year with the college ended with defeat by Midleton CBS in the 2019 Harty Cup final, before losing to St Kieran's College in the All-Ireland semi-final.[2][3] He later studied at University College Cork and immediately joined their freshers' hurling team before later joining UCC's Fitzgibbon Cup panel.[4][5]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Barrett began his club career at juvenile and underage levels with the Blarney club. He had his first major success when Blarney beat Carrigaline by 1-11 to 0-12 to claim the Cork Premier 2 MHC title in 2016.[6] He was still eligible for the minor grade two years later when Midleton beat Blarney by 1-22 to 1-10 to win the Cork Premier 1 MHC title.[7]

Barrett immediately progressed to adult level and made his championship debut in April 2019 in a 0-24 to 2-12 defeat of Ballinhassig.[8] He won a Cork PIHC medal in October 2020 after scoring two points from play in Blarney's 1-20 to 0-15 defeat of Castlelyons in the final.[9] Barrett was the team's top scorer with 1-69 in 2023, when Blarney ended their Cork SAHC campaign with a defeat by Bride Rovers in a final replay.[10]

Inter-county career

[edit | edit source]

Barrett first played for Cork as a member of the under-17 team during the holding of a one-off special championship in 2017. He won a Munster U17HC medal in this grade after a defeat of Waterford, before coming on as a substitute for Blake Murphy in Cork's subsequent 1-19 to 1-17 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final.[11] Barrett progressed to the minor team proper as captain the following year.[12] After a year with no inter-county activity, he joined Cork's under-20 team in 2020. Success in this grade was immediate with Barrett claiming Munster and All-Ireland U20HC medals in 2020 after respective defeats of Tipperary and Dublin.[13][14]

Barrett had one more year of under-20 hurling, however, his inclusion on the senior team in 2021 made him ineligible for the grade.[15][16] Debuts in the National Hurling League and Munster SHC followed later that season.[17] Barret came on as a substitute for Darragh Fitzgibbon when Cork suffered a 3-32 to 1-22 defeat by Limerick in the 2021 All-Ireland final.[18] He was at centre-forward when Cork lost the 2022 National League final to Waterford.[19]

Barrett lined out at centre-forward for Cork's 3–29 to 1–34 extra-time defeat by Clare in the 2024 All-Ireland final.[20] He was presented with an All-Star award at the end of the 2024 season.[21] Barrett claimed his first senior silverware in April 2025 when Cork won the National Hurling League title following a 3–24 to 0–23 win over Tipperary in the final.[22] This was later followed by a Munster SHC medal after Cork's penalty shootout defeat of Limerick in the 2025 Munster final.[23]
