Dan Lane (born 1861 in Aghabullogue, County Cork) was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club Aghabullogue and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team for one season in 1890. Lane captained Cork to their very first All-Ireland title in 1890.
Playing career
Club
Lane played his hurling with his local club in Aghabullogue and enjoyed some success. He won a county senior championship title in 1890 following a 7-3 to 1-1 defeat of Aghada. It remains Aghabullogue's only county final victory.
Inter-county
Lane first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with Cork as part of the Aghabullogue selection in 1890. That year he lined out in his first provincial decider with Kerry providing the opposition. The game was far from exciting, however, at full-time Cork were the champions by 2-0 to 0-1.[1] It was Lane's first Munster title. Cork's next game was an All-Ireland final meeting with Wexford. The game was a controversial one and was marred by ill-tempered behaviour. A Cork player had his toe broken by one of his Wexford counterparts. As captain, Lane led his men off the field in protest. At the time Cork were trailing by 2-2 to 1-6, however, the GAA's Central Council later backed Cork and Lane collected a coveted All-Ireland title.[2] It was his only season with Cork.
