John Cremin (born 1958) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level, he played with St Finabrr's and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team.

Playing career

Cremin first played for the St Finbarr's club as a dual player at juvenile and underage levels. He was part of the club's minor teams that won a Cork MHC-MFC double in 1975. Cremin later won consecutive Cork U21FC title in 1977 and 1978.[1]

After progressing to the club's senior teams, again as a dual player, Cremin won six Cork SHC and three Cork SFC medals between 1977 and 1988.[2][3] These were subsequently converted into three Munster Club SFC and two Munster Club SHC medals.[4] Cremin was at midfield when St Finbarr's beat Rathnure by four points in the 1978 All-Ireland Club SHC final.[5] He later won two All-Ireland Club SFC medals.[6][7][8][9]

Cremin first appeared on the inter-county scene for Cork as a dual player at minor level. He captained Cork to a 1-10 to 0-06 defeat by Galway in the 1976 All-Ireland MFC final.[10] Cremin continued his dual status at under-21 level and won a Munster U20FC medal, as team captain, in 1979.[11] He missed the subsequent defeat by Down in the All-Ireland U21FC final because of a broken collarbone.[12] Cremin made his Cork senior hurling team debut in a National Hurling League game against Carlow in February 1979.[13]

Management career

Cremin first served as manager of the St Finbarr's senior hurling team for two seasons in 2014 and 2015.[14] He returned to the position on an interim basis in August 2020, following Aidan Fitzpatrick's resignation from the position.[15]
