Contents

Born in Collinstown, County Westmeath, Cosgrove first arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Westmeath minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel for the 1974 championship. Cosgrove went on to play a key role for Westmeath for over a decade, and won two All-Ireland "B" Championship medals.

As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on one occasion, Cosgrove enjoyed little success in the Railway Cup. At club level he is a two-time championship medallist with Lough Lene Gaels. Cosgrove also won three New York senior championship medals with the Westmeath club.

Cosgrove's retirement came when he emigrated to the United States in 1987, however, he made one final appearance for Westmeath in 1993.

In retirement from playing Cosgrove became involved in team management and coaching. As physical trainer and manager, he guided Lough Lene Gaels to five championship titles. Cosgrove later served as a selector and manager to the Westmeath senior hurling team.

His son, Killian, also played hurling with Westmeath.
