Rory Kavanagh (Irish: Ruairí Ó Caomhánach; born 23 August 1982) is a Gaelic footballer with Donegal. Alongside Colm McFadden and Christy Toye, he would have been considered one of the experienced members of the Donegal senior football panel in his final days.[1]
Club: Naomh Adhamhnáin (St Eunan's GAA) , Kavanagh lives in Letterkenny[2][3]
Playing career
Educated at Saint Eunan's College in Letterkenny,[4] Kavanagh was part of the victorious college team that brought the McLarnon Cup back to the school for a third time in 2000, the first win since 1979. He is currently a teacher at Scoil Colmcille in Letterkenny.
Mickey Moran first called up Kavanagh for the Donegal senior panel in 2001.[5]
Against Armagh in the 2004 Ulster final at Croke Park, he came on as a substitute for the injured Christy Toye.[6] Against the same opponents at the same venue he played in the 2006 Ulster final, scoring 0-01.[7] Having spent much of the campaign on the bench, he came on as a substitute in the 2007 NFL Final against Mayo, scoring 0-01.[8]
Again against Mayo, he started at midfield in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.[9] Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle from his team hotel in Dublin the following morning, he was still a wee bit hoarse himself and described the win as "surreal".[10] He was nominated for an All Star in 2012, but missed out unluckily according to many experts.[11]
At the end of 2014 Rory decided to retire from the county set up. In 2016 he came out of retirement to be back on the Donegal panel.
