Cornelius Kelly (1949 – 5 April 1985) was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer. He played with club sides Cloughduv and Canovee, divisional side Muskerry and at inter-county level with the Cork senior teams.

Career

Kelly first played hurling with the Cloughduv minor team that won three successive divisional titles in the mid-1960s. He soon progressed to adult level and won a Cork JFC title with sister club Canovee in 1968.^[1] Kelly was the championship's top scorer when he added a Cork JHC title to his collection in 1970.^[2] He was also a member of the Muskerry divisional teams as a dual player that year and, after losing the SHC final, won a Cork SFC medal after a defeat of Nemo Rangers.^[3]^[4] Kelly enjoyed further club success when Canovee-Cloughduv completed an intermediate double in 1973. He ended his club career with a second Cork IHC title in 1983.

Kelly first played for Cork as a substitute on the minor team that lost the 1966 All-Ireland minor final to Wexford. He was again eligible for the minor grade the following year and won an All-Ireland MHC medal from left wing-forward when Wexford were beaten.^[5] Kelly's performances at club level resulted in a call-up to the under-21 team and he scored 2-07 when Wexford were beaten in the 1970 All-Ireland under-21 final replay.^[6] He was drafted onto the Cork senior teams as a dual player for the respective 1971 championships an won a Munster SFC medal after a defeat of Kerry.^[7]^[8] A recurring back problem resulted in Kelly's inter-county career coming to a premature end.
