Patrick Cronin (hurler)
Patrick Cronin (born 20 May 1987) is an Irish hurler who plays for Premier Senior Championship club Bishopstown. He played for the Cork senior hurling team for 10 years, during which time he usually lined out at midfield or as a centre-forward.
Cronin began his hurling career at club level with Bishopstown. After a hugely successful underage career, he broke onto the club's top adult team as a 17-year-old in 2004 and enjoyed his greatest success in 2006 when the club won the Premier Intermediate Championship and promotion to the top flight of Cork hurling. Cronin has made over 50 championship appearances in three two grades of adult hurling for the club, while his early prowess also saw him selected for University College Cork and the University of Limerick, with whom he won a Fitzgibbon Cup title.
At inter-county level, Cronin was part of the successful Cork minor team that won back-to-back Munster Championships in 2004 and 2005 before later winning a Munster Championship with the under-21 team in 2007. He joined the Cork senior team in 2006. From his debut, Cronin was ever-present at midfield or centre-forward and made a combined total of 81 National League and Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 2015. During that time he was part of two Munster Championship-winning teams and was an All-Ireland runner-up as captain of the team in 2013. Cronin's inter-county career came to an end when he was released from the Cork panel in April 2016.
Cronin was nominated for a GAA/GPA All-Star in 2013. At inter-provincial level, he was selected to play in two championship campaigns with Munster, with his sole Railway Cup medal being won in 2013.

Philip Patrick Henry Cronin (August 7, 1846 – May 4, 1889) was an Irish immigrant to the United States, a physician, and a member of Clan na Gael in Chicago. In 1889, Cronin was murdered by affiliates of Clan na Gael. Following an extensive investigation into his death, the murder trial was, at the time, the longest-running trial in U.S. history. Cronin's murder caused a public backlash against secret societies, including protests and written condemnations by the leadership of the Catholic Church.
Cronin grew up in the U.S. and Canada, and moved to the Midwestern United States after the American Civil War. He became a physician and a prominent member of high society, and represented St. Louis at the Exposition Universelle (1878). While in St. Louis, Cronin joined multiple clubs, among them, the Irish nationalist organization, Clan na Gael. When he moved to Chicago, Cronin continued his involvement with Clan na Gael. After criticizing the leadership of the Chicago camp of Clan na Gael, he was expelled from the group and accused of being a British spy. In May 1889, Cronin disappeared. Later that month, public works employees discovered his body in a sewer in a northern suburb of Chicago. The press coverage of the investigation and trial caught international attention. Cronin's funeral drew the largest crowds for a funeral since the arrival of Abraham Lincoln's body in Chicago. Patrick O'Sullivan, Daniel Coughlin, Martin Burke, and John Kunzel were found guilty of the murder of Patrick Cronin.
