Life

Raised in the Lough area of Cork, Young was one of eight children born to the former Mary Daly and Peter Young. After a brief education he joined many of his other siblings and worked as a milk vendor. Young first played competitive hurling with the St. Finbarr's club. Throughout his club career he won three county senior championship medals.[1]

Young made his first appearance for the Cork senior team in August 1902 in what was the first round of the 1901 championship. He became a regular member of the team and played as a forward and as a goalkeeper at different times during his inter-county career. Young won his only All-Ireland medal in 1902, however, he made no appearance in the final but had played in the earlier rounds of the championship. He also won four Munster medals. Young played his last game for Cork in August 1907.

Young died from myelitis on 6 October 1915.

gollark: For purposes only, you understand.
gollark: There are lots of *imaginable* and *claimed* gods, so I'm saying "gods".
gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.
gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.
