James Lynam (born 1 October 1925) is an Irish former hurler who played for club side Glen Rovers and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. [1]
A member of the Glen Rovers club in Blackpool, Lynam had just turned 19 when he won his first County Championship title in 1944. He claimed a further six winners' medals before his retirement from the club scene in 1960. Lynam first played for the Cork senior hurling team when he was selected as a reserve for the 1950 Munster Championship. He won the first of successive Munster Championship medals in 1952, before claiming his first All-Ireland title after coming on as a substitute for Liam Abernethy in the 1952 final defeat of Dublin. [2] Lynam collected further silverware with a National League title in 1953, before winning a second All-Ireland title, this time as a reserve, after Cork's defeat of Galway in the 1953 final. [3] [4]
