Ambrose Power (17 February 1884 – 25 February 1960) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Tulla and Carrahan, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Clare senior hurling team. Power also spent a period as trainer of the Clare team.

Career

Power first played hurling in his local area with the Tulla club. He was part of the Clare SHC-winning team in 1905, while he also claimed back-to-back Redmond Cups with Tulla in 1905 and 1906, on a team that also featured his brothers. The introduction of the parish rule meant the Power had to play with the then Carrahan club after 1906. He earned a call-up to the Clare senior hurling team around this time and was part of the team that beat Galway to claim the Croke Cup in 1908.[2]

The abolition of the parish rule in 1911 resulted in Power and his brothers returning to play with Tulla. He claimed a second Clare SHC medal in 1913, a win which resulted in him taking over the captaincy of the Clare team.[3] Power won a Munster SHC medal in 1914, before later captaining Clare to a defeat of Laois in the 1914 All-Ireland final.[4][5]

In retirement from playing, Power became involved in coaching. He was trainer of the Clare team that won the Munster SHC title in 1932, before losing the subsequent All-Ireland final to Kilkenny.[6]

Personal life and death

Power married Kitty Reddan from Killorglin, County Kerry in November 1923.[7] She inherited a public house in Quin which was run by the family for many years. Power was elected to Clare County Council as a Fine Gael member in 1950 before being re-elected in 1955.

Power died on 25 February 1960, at the age of 76.[8]
