Henry Meagher

Henry Meagher (1902–1982) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.

Meagher made his first appearance for the team during the 1926 championship and was a regular player for just two championship seasons. During that time, he won two Leinster winner's medals.

At club level, Meagher enjoyed a successful career with Tullaroan. However, he also lined out with arch-rivals Mooncoin, winning one county club championship winners' medal. He also won a Railway Cup winners' medal as a member of the inaugural Leinster inter-provincial team.

Meagher was a member of a famous Gaelic games dynasty. His father, Henry J. Meagher, was said to have attended the inaugural meeting of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884. His brothers, Frank and Willie, both played with Kilkenny throughout the 1920s while a third brother, Lory, is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
