Career

Farr later won back-to-back West Cork JAFC, before claiming a Cork JAFC medal after a defeat of Carrigtwohill in 1993. His performances for the club resulted in a call-up to the Carbery divisional team. Farr later added a Cork IFC medal to his collection in 1995. [1]

At inter-county level, Farr first appeared for Cork as a member of the minor team that lost the 1986 All-Ireland minor final to Galway. [2] He later won a Munster U21FC as a member of the extended panel in 1989. By that stage, Farr had already joined the junior team and won the first of four Munster JFC medals in 1988. He claimed back-to-back All-Ireland JFC medals as a substitute in 1989 and on the field of play in 1990. [3]

After impressing for the junior team, Farr joined the Cork senior football team in 1993. [4] He won the first of three Munster SFC medals that season and was an unused substitute when Cork were beaten by Derry in the 1993 All-Ireland final. [5] [6] [7] Farr was also selected for Munster's Railway Cup team during this period. [8] He made his last appearance for Cork as an unused substitute in a defeat by Clare in 1997.
