Ciarán Joyce (born 2002) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Castlemartyr, divisional side Imokilly and at inter-county level with the Cork senior team.

Early life

Born and raised in Castlemartyr, County Cork, Joyce first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Midleton CBS. He progressed through the various age grades before joining the school's senior team in 2018. Joyce's first year as a senior ended with a 2–12 to 0–14 defeat of Christian Brothers College Cork in the 2019 Harty Cup final.[1] He added a Dr O'Callaghan Cup medal to his collection in February 2020 after a 3–24 to 1–15 defeat of St Francis College in the final.[2] Joyce later studied at Munster Technological University Cork and was added to their Fitzgibbon Cup panel in 2023.[3]

Club career

Joyce began his club career at juvenile and underage levels with a Castlemartyr-Dungourney amalgamation known as Kiltha Óg. He won a Cork Premier 2 U14 Championship-League double in 2016, before claiming a Cork Premier 2 MHC title in 2018 after 2-13 to 0-12 defeat of Bandon.[4][5]

Joyce made his first appearance for Castlemartyr's adult team in 3-13 to 2-13 defeat of St Finbarr's in August 2020. He ended his debut season with a Cork LIHC medal after a 1-20 to 0-11 defeat of Russell Rovers in the final.[6] Joyce added a Cork IAHC title to his collection in November 2021 after being named man of the match in the 1-19 to 0-12 defeat of Sarsfields.[7]

As a member of the Imokilly divisional team, Joyce won back-to-back Denis O'Riordan Cup titles in 2022 and 2023.[8][9]

Inter-county career

Joyce first appeared on the inter-county scene with Cork as a member of the minor team during their unsuccessful Munster MHC campaign in 2019.[10] He immediately progressed to Cork's under-20 team in 2020. Success in this grade was immediate with Joyce claiming Munster and All-Ireland U20HC medals in his first year after respective defeats of Tipperary and Dublin.[11][12] He claimed a second successive Munster U20HC medal after a two point defeat of Limerck in 2021.[13] Joyce's last game in the grade saw him claim a second successive winners' medal after a defeat of Galway in the 2021 All-Ireland U20 final.[14]

Joyce had one more year of under-20 hurling, however, his inclusion on the senior team in December 2021 made him ineligible for the grade.[15][16] He was at left corner-back when Cork lost the 2022 National League final to Waterford.[17] Joyce was a GAA/GPA Young Hurler of the Year nominee in November 2023.[18]
