Timeline

1946

Cornelius Roche (born 1946) is an Irish former hurler, manager and selector.

He played for Cork Senior Championship club St Finbarr's and was a member of the Cork senior hurling team for ten years, during which time he usually lined out as a left wing-back.

Roche began his hurling career at club level with St Finbarr's.

1963

He broke onto the club's top adult team as a 17-year-old in 1963 and had his first success two years later when the club won the 1965 Cork Championship, before claiming further titles in 1968, 1974 and 1977.

He made his senior debut while still a minor in 1963 and immediately became a regular fixture on the team.

1964

At inter-county level, Roche was part of the successful Cork minor team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1964 before later winning an All-Ireland Championship with the under-21 team in 1966.

After losing the championship decider to Glen Rovers in 1964, Roche was subsequently suspended for breach of "the ban" on the playing of foreign sports.

"The Barr's" were back for a second successive final the following year.

University College Cork provided the opposition; however, a youthful St Finbarr's team powered to a 6–8 to 2–6 victory.

It was Roche's first championship medal.

A subsequent 3–12 to 2–3 trouncing of Waterford's Mount Sion gave him a Munster medal.

Roche first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team and in 1964 experienced the ultimate success in that grade.

A 2–14 to 2–9 defeat of Tipperary gave him a Munster.

Cork later overwhelmed Laois in a unique All-Ireland decider.

A remarkable 10–7 to 1–4 score line gave Cork the title and gave Roche an All-Ireland medal in what was his last game in that grade.

1965

He joined the Cork senior team in 1965.

1966

During that time he was part of two All-Ireland Championship-winning teams – in 1966 as a substitute and 1970.

Roche also secured four Munster Championship medals and four National Hurling League medals.

By 1966 Roche was a key member of the Cork under-21 team.

He won a Munster medal that year as Cork trounced Limerick by 5–12 to 2–6 in the provincial decider.

1967

After surrendering their titles the following year and losing the final to Glen Rovers in 1967, St Finbarr's recovered in 1968.

Roche collected a second championship medal following a narrow 5–9 to 1–19 defeat of Imokilly.

After an absence of six years, a period which also saw Roche being suspended for playing soccer, St Finbarr's returned to the top table of Cork hurling once again.

In spite of being regarded as underdogs against Blackrock, Roche gave a masterful display in helping the Barr's to a 2–17 to 2–14 victory.

It was his third championship medal.

Newmarket-on-Fergus were the opponents in the subsequent provincial decider.

A low-scoring 0–7 to 0–3 victory gave Roche his second Munster medal; however, the game was tinged with sadness for St Finbarr's as an horrific shine-bone injury brought Bernie Scully's career to an end.

The All-Ireland final on St Patrick's weekend saw St Finbarr's take on the Fenians of Kilkenny.

St Finbarr's ability to get goals at crucial times proved to be the difference in the 3–8 to 1–6 victory.

It was Roche's first All-Ireland medal.

1972

Roche won his first All-Star in 1972, before claiming a further All-Star in 1974.

At inter-provincial level, he was selected to play in four championship campaigns with Munster in the Railway Cup.

After retiring as a player, Roche transitioned into coaching.

1975

The highlight of Roche's club career came in 1975 when he was at midfield on the All-Ireland Championship-winning team.

1976

From his debut, Roche was ever-present in the half-back line and made 23 Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 1976.

He played his last game for Cork on 8 February 1976.

1985

He was involved as coach with three championship-winning team with St Finbarr's. Roche later served as a Cork senior hurling team selector for their 1985 Munster Championship-winning success.

He also had stints as coach with the Kerry and Cork senior hurling teams.

Con is known to enjoy a few pints in the Cork area and is an associate of local singer Jammy Creed and big Willie Cotter and Baby Barry.

Roche played his club hurling with St Finbarr's and had much success during a golden age for the club.
