Patrick Richard Doherty (21 January 1886 – 11 April 1966) was an Irish hurler. At club level, he played with Mooncoin and at inter-county level with the Kilkenny senior hurling team.
Career
[edit]Doherty first played hurling as a member of the Mooncoin club in south Kilkenny. He was part of the club's team that won Kilkenny SHC titles in 1906, 1908 and 1913.[1][2] Doherty retired from hurling shortly after his third title victory, however, he returned for one final game when, in 1924, he replaced the injured Wattie Dunphy.[3]
At inter-county level, Doherty joined the Kilkenny senior hurling team in 1906. His career yielded five Leinster SHC medals in seven seasons between 1907 and 1913.[4] Doherty also won five All-Ireland SHC medals after defeats of Cork (1907 and 1912) and Tipperary (1909, 1911, 1913).[5][6] His other honours include back-to-back Railway Shield titles with Leinster.
