Career

He won a Dean Ryan Cup medal in 1986 after a 2-09 to 2-06 win over St Flannan's College in the final.[1] Corcoran was also part of Midleton CBS's back-to-back final defeats in the Dr Harty Cup in 1986 and 1987.[2]
At club level, Harte played hurling and Gaelic football with Erin's Own. He had just progressed to adult level when he won a Cork IHC medal in 1987 after a 1-06 to 0-08 defeat of Mallow in the final.[3] Corcoran followed this by winning a Cork SHC medal in 1992, when Erin's Own claimed their inaugural title.[4] He also had title successes as a Gaelic footballer, including three East Cork JAFC titles and a Cork JAFC title in 1994.
Corcoran first appeared on the inter-county scene with Cork as a dual player at minor level. He was an All-Ireland MHC runner-up in 1986, before losing the 1987 All-Ireland minor football final to Down.[5][6] Corcoran later progressed to under-21 level and won an All-Ireland U21HC medal after Cork's 4-11 to 1-05 win over Kilkenny in the 1988 All-Ireland under-21 final.[7] He was later added to the senior team and was part of Cork's National Hurling League-winning team in 1993.[8]
