Noel Twomey (born 1969) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer. At club level he played with Macroom, divisional side Muskerry and was also a member of the Cork senior football team.
Twomey first played Gaelic football as a student at the De La Salle College in Macroom, while also lining out at underage levels with the Macroom club. After winning a Cork MFC title in 1986, he progressed to adult level. Twomey was the team's top scorer when Macroom won the Cork IFC title in 1990.[1] [2] He also earned inclusion on the Muskerry divisional team.
Twomey first played for Cork as a member of the minor team that lost back-to back All-Ireland minor finals in 1986 and 1987 when he was also team captain.[3] He immediately progressed onto the under-21 team and was at right corner-forward when Cork beat Galway in the 1989 All-Ireland under-21 final.[4] It was the first of two All-Ireland medals that year as he was also a member of the junior team that beat Warwickshire to win the All-Ireland JFC title.[5] His performances in these grades resulted in Twomey being drafted onto the training panel of the Cork senior football team.[6] During his six-year tenure he lined out in a number of National League games, however, he failed to make it onto the championship panel. Twomey was a member of the Cork team that won the All-Ireland SFC title in 1990, however, as a member of the extended panel he failed to receive a winners' medal.[7]
In retirement from playing, Twomey became involved in team management and coaching. He managed Macroom to the Cork IFC title in 2010.[8]
