Michael Neville (14 February 1891 – 12 September 1973) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-forward for the Dublin and Limerick senior teams from 1913 to 1924.[1] [2]
Neville made his first appearance for the Dublin team during the 1913 championship and became a regular player over much of the next decade. During that time, he won two All-Ireland winner's medals and four Leinster winner's medals. Neville later joined the Limerick team, winning one Munster winners' medal.
At club level, Rochford enjoyed a successful career with Faughs in Dublin, winning six county club championship winners' medals. He ended his club career with the Croagh-Kilfinny club in Limerick.
The new county grounds in Rathkeale were gifted to the County Board by the Neville family, so they were named the Mick Neville Park in his honour.[3]
