Richard Browne (1934 – 14 July 2024) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Castletownroche, divisional side Avondhu and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team.
Browne first played hurling at under-14 level with Castletownroche.[2] He never played at minor level but eventually progressed onto the club's junior team in 1952. Browne played in goal for a while before winning the first of seven North Cork JHC titles in 1954. He claimed a Cork JHC medal in 1960 before winning a Cork IHC medal in 1964.[3] Browne's performances earned selection to the Avondhu divisional team in 1958. He completed the full set of county honours by winning a Cork SHC medal after a defeat of University College Cork in the 1966 final.[4] Browne had a 30-year career at adult level with Castletown and he retired after winning a second Cork JHC title in 1982.[5]
Browne first played with the Cork senior hurling team in a tournament game in the mid-1950s. He later lined out with the junior team and won a Munster JHC medal in 1959.[6] A spell with the intermediate team resulted in Browne being called up to the senior team alongside his brother Johnny Browne for the unsuccessful 1961 Munster SHC campaign.[7] [8] His last game for Cork was a defeat by Tipperary in the 1964 Munster final.[9]
Browne died on 14 July 2024, at the age of 89.[10]
