an incident which occurred midway through the second half when Cork goalkeeper Ger Cunningham blocked a point-blank shot from Martin Naughton with his nose. The umpires gave no 65-metre free, even though he clearly deflected it out wide. Cork went on to win a high-scoring and open game of hurling by 5–15 to 2–21. It was a third All-Ireland medal for O'Sullivan. He finished off the year by winning a fourth All-Star before being named Texaco Hurler of the Year. Cork surrendered their titles in 1991, however, Casey claimed an All-Star award for his performances. Casey claimed his second Munster medal in 1992 following a 1-22 to 3-11 of Limerick. On 6 September 1992 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. At half-time Cork were two points ahead, however, two second-half goals by John Power and Michael Phelan supplemented a first-half D. J. Carey penalty which gave Kilkenny a 3-10 to 1-12 victory. In 1993 Casey won a National Hurling League medal following a 3-11 to 1-12 defeat of Wexford. Cork's hurling fortunes took a downturn over the next few years and Casey retired from inter-county hurling following Cork's exit from the 1995 championship. Inter-provincial Casey was first chosen on the Munster inter-provincial team in 1991, however, the southern province lost out to Connacht by 1-13 to 0-12 in the decider. In 1992 Munster made it back to the decider where they faced Ulster. Casey remained on the bench as Munster secured a narrow 3-6 to 1-11 victory and a Railway Cup medal. Coaching career In December 2006 Casey joined the Cork senior hurling backroom team as a selector under Gerald McCarthy. Cork's season ended with an All-Ireland quarter-final replay defeat by Waterford. Casey stepped down as a selector at the end of the season. Casey later served on the management team with the Warwickshire senior team.
