James Duggan (born 1930) was an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-forward for the Galway senior team.[1][2]
Born in College Road, Galway, Duggan first played competitive hurling whilst at school at St. Patrick's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Galway minor team, before later joining the junior side. He joined senior panel for the 1950-51 National Hurling League. Duggan went on to play a key role for Galway for over fifteen years, however, he enjoyed little success in terms of silverware. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.[3]
As a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, Duggan enjoyed little success in the Railway Cup. At club level he was a four-time championship medallist with Liam Mellows.[citation needed]
Throughout his career Cullinane made 17 championship appearances for Galway. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1967 championship.[citation needed]
His brothers, Seánie and Paddy, all played with distinction for Galway, while their sister, Monica, was a renowned camogie player.[citation needed]
In retirement from playing Duggan became a referee at club, inter-county and inter-provincial levels.[citation needed]
