Bartholomew Barrett (4 June 1906 – 8 March 1974), known as Battna Barrett, was an Irish hurler who played at club level with Glen Rovers and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lined out as a forward.

Playing career

[edit]

Barrett first made an impression as a hurler with the Glen Rovers club. He eventually progressed onto the club's senior team and won six consecutive Cork SHC titles between 1934 and 1939 during a golden age for the Glen.[2] Barrett's skill at club level brought him to the attention of the Cork senior hurling team and he made his first appearance on the inter-county scene in 1934. He scored four goals on his debut against Tipperary.[3] Barrett continued to line out with Cork until 1936.

Personal life and death

[edit]

Barrett was born in Shanon on Cork's northside, the eldest surviving son of Stephen and Hannah (née Courtney).[4] After completing his education, he worked as a rubber worker with Dunlop's. Barrett married Margaret Hegarty in January 1944.[5] He died at St Stephen's Hospital in Glanmire on 8 March 1974.[6]
