Damian Casey (1993 – 17 June 2022)[5] was an Irish hurler who played for the Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon, club and at senior level for the Tyrone county team. Regarded as his county's greatest ever hurler who—at the time of his death—was "at the peak of his powers",[2][4][5] Casey played as a full-forward.
He scored in every game he played for Tyrone at senior level. He was a former captain of his county, including for its first Nicky Rackard Cup win in 2014, when he was 21 years of age.[3] He won the Nicky Rackard Cup again in 2022 in what was his final game for his county, shortly before his death at the age of 29.
