John Hodgins (born 1961 in Cork, Ireland) is a retired Irish sportsman. He played hurling with his local club St. Finbarr's and with the Cork senior inter-county team from 1984 until 1986.

Playing career

Club

Hodgins played gis club hurling with the famous St. Finbarr's club in Cork. He enjoyed much success in the 1980s, winning senior county titles in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1988 and 1993.

Inter-county

Hodgins first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in the late 1970s. He missed out on a Munster medal in this grade in 1978, however, he did win an All-Ireland following a victory over Kilkenny. In 1979 Hodgins won a Munster title with the Cork minor hurlers before collecting a second All-Ireland medal following another win over Kilkenny in the championship decider. Hodgins subsequently joined the Cork under-21 hurling team. He won a Munster title in this grade in 1982 before laer winning an All-Ireland medal following a victory over Galway in the final.

Two years after this Hodgins was a regular on the Cork senior hurling team. That year he won his first senior Munster title following a victory over Tipperary in a thrilling provincial decider. Cork later lined out against Offaly in the centenary All-Ireland final at Semple Stadium. In the one hundred years of the Gaelic Athletic Association it was the first ever meeting of these two sides. Cork were much too powerful for Offaly on the occasion and won the game on a score line of 3-16 to 1-12, giving Hodgins a coveted senior All-Ireland medal. In 1985 Hodgins won a second senior Munster title. Cork, however, were later defeated by Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final. In 1986 Cork retained their provincial crown for a fifth consecutive year. It was Hodgins third Munster medal. Hodgins was later dropped from the team for the All-Ireland final, which Cork won against Galway. His involvement with the Cork senior hurling team ended shortly after this.
