| - Michael Gerard Tubridy (1923 – 16 April 1954) was an all-Ireland winning Gaelic footballer and an international showjumper. He was born in Kilrush, County Clare, one of ten children of Patrick F. Tubridy (died 1947). He entered the Irish Army as a cadet in November 1941, serving at Ballincollig, County Cork. He joined the Cork Gaelic Football team and played as a left wing-forward for the Cork senior team in 1945. Tubridy played for the team for just one season in the 1945 championship. It was a successful year as he won a set of All-Ireland and Munster winner's medals. At club level Tubridy played with the Kilrush Shamrocks and clubs. In 1945, he transferred to the Irish Army's Equitation School and achieved many showjumping successes on horses such as Bruree and Ballyneety. After retiring from the army on 25 January 1954, he was manager of Joe McGrath's Trimblestown Stud Farm in Kildalkey, county Meath. He died on 16 April 1954 following a riding accident at Trimblestown and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery on 19 April 1954. He was survived by his widow Dorothy (née Lawlor), known as Dot, and one daughter, Aine. The Kilrush Shamrocks playing field is officially named "Captain Tubridy Memorial Park" in his honour, although it is affectionately known as "the Cricket Field". It is located 1 mile south of Kilrush on the road to the Killimer car ferry. (en)
