Patrick Collins (born 12 September 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays as a goalkeeper for club side Ballinhassig, university side Cork Institute of Technology and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team.

Early life

Collins was born in Ballinhassig, County Cork. His father, Pat, was a goalkeeper for the Ballinhassig club, while his older brother, Matthew, played for Cork in the minor, under-21 and intermediate grade. His younger brother, Ger, has also played for Cork in the minor, under-21 and senior grades.[1]

Playing career

College

Collins first came to prominence as a dual player with Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh in Bishopstown, playing in both codes at every grade from under-14 to senior.[2]

University

On 3 March 2016, Collins was in goal for the Cork Institute of Technology team that played Dublin City University in the All-Ireland Freshers Championship final. Collins was instrumental in pulling off a number of saves as CIT went on to win by 1-13 to 0-13.[3]

Club

Collins joined the Ballinhassig club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, enjoying championship success in the under-14 grade. He joined the club's top adult team in 2013.

Inter-county

Minor and under-21

Collins first played for Cork at minor level on 2 May 2012 in a one-point defeat by Limerick.[4] His debut season ended at the Munster-semi-final stage with a defeat by Clare.[5] Collins played for two further unsuccessful seasons with the Cork minor team.

Collins was in his second season with the minor team when he was added to the Cork under-21 team, making his first appearance in that grade in a defeat by Tipperary on 17 July 2013.[6] It was the first of five successive seasons with the under-21 team, however, his tenure in that grade ended without success.

Senior

Collins made his senior debut for Cork in a Waterford Crystal Cup defeat of the University of Limerick on 10 January 2015.[7] He made his first start in a National League on 12 March 2016 in a one-point defeat by Kilkenny.[8] On 9 July 2017, Collins won his first Munster medal as a non-playing substitute following a 1-25 to 1-20 defeat of Clare in the final.[9]

On 1 July 2018, Collins won a second successive Munster medal as a non-playing substitute following a 2-24 to 3-19 defeat of Clare in the final.[10]
