Cork GAA Chairman, Marc Sheehan described the late Teddy Mc Carthy as “a legend and Icon of Cork GAA, Sarsfields & Glanmire“. “There is great shock and sadness to hear of his untimely passing. Deepest sympathy of Cork GAA is extended to Teddy’s wife Oonagh, sons, Cian and Niall, daughter Sinead and extended family”
Known far and wide as ”Teddy Mac” he has the unique distinction of winning two All Ireland Senior Medals in Hurling and football within two weeks of each other in 1990 when Cork defeated Galway in the hurling decider 5-15 to 2-21 and gained a hard earned victory over Meath on a 0-11 to 0-09 score line.
An All Ireland Senior football winner in 1989 and All Star award from that year, Teddy won 3 All Ireland U21 football medals between 1984 and 1986.
His first All Ireland Senior hurling medal also came against Galway in 1986, when he famously returned from holiday to help lead the Rebels to glory. A National hurling league medal was gained in the infamous 1993 league final victory over Wexford after a second replay.
At Club level Teddy picked up two Cork Senior football medals with Imokilly in 1984 and 1986 and an Intermediate football medal with Glanmire.
His beloved Sarsfields reached the 1989 county senior hurling final losing out to Glen Rovers. He served Sarsfields as manager on two occasions and was a selector when they beat Bride Rovers to win the Cork SHC for the first time since 1957 and heralded a golden era for the Riverstown club as four county senior championships were annexed in an eight year period. Teddy was Vice Chairman of Sarsfields, the club he loved and served with great passion, at the time of his passing. Ar Dheis De go raibh a anam.
