Hugh Barrett

County junior champion with Ahascragh, 1931, and a regular for Galway

Summary

A History of Fohenagh names Hugh Barrett among the Fohenagh men on the Ahascragh team that won the 1931 county junior title, beating Claregalway in the final[1]. He was a regular for Galway, and the book calls that selection a "singular tribute" because the selectors went outside south Galway to pick him[1].
