Richard Harnedy (28 November 1910 – 25 May 1983) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he played with Dromtarriffe and Castlemagner, divisional side Duhallow and at inter-county level with Cork.
Harnedy first played Gaelic football during a successful era for the Dromtarriffe club. His honours with the club included five Duhallow JFC titles, two Cork JFC titles and a Cork IFC in 1935.[1] Harnedy spent the last decade of his club career with the Castlemagner club and won a further three Duhallow JFC titles.[2] His performances at club level also earned his selection for the Duhallow divisional team. Harnedy captained the division to the Cork SFC title in 1936.
Harnedy's inter-county career with Cork began as a member of both the junior and senior teams in 1933. He won a Munster JFC medal that year before becoming one of the mainstays of the senior team over the course of the following decade.[3][4] Harnedy won a Munster SFC medal in 1943, in what was Cork's first provincial title in 15 years.[5] His performances also saw him included on the Munster inter-provincial team and he won a Railway Cup medal in 1941.[6]
