2001 all-ireland senior hurling championship final
by this stage cooney was also lining out with the galway senior hurling team. he made his debut in 1985 and lined out in his very first senior all-ireland final. offaly provided the opposition on the day and the game was a close and exciting one. cooney scored a goal towards the end, however, it was disallowed. this might have turned the game for galway; however, offaly went on to win on a score line of 2-11 to 1-12. in spite of losing the game cooney was later presented with his first all-star award. in 1986 cooney lined out in his second all-ireland final. cork provided the opposition on that occasion, however, galway were the red-hot favourites for the title. after an exciting game between the two sides cork emerged victorious on a score line of 4-13 to 2-15. in spite of losing the championship decider for a second year in-a-row, cooney's performance still earned him a second all-star award. 1987 saw cooney collect his first national hurling league title before lining out in a third consecutive all-ireland final. after a low-scoring game against kilkenny galway finally triumphed on a score line of 1-12 to 0-9 and cooney collected his first senior all-ireland medal. once again he was presented with a third all-star award. in 1988 cooney made his fourth consecutive appearance in the championship decider with tipperary lining out against his side. noel lane, the goal-scoring hero of the previous year's final once again scored at a crucial time, giving galway the victory and giving cooney a second consecutive all-ireland medal. in 1989 cooney won a second national league title and galway looked a good bet to win a third championship in-a-row. unfortunately, star centre-back tony keady was controversially suspended from playing for a year. this set the tone for galway's championship campaign and they were later dumped out of the championship by tipperary in an ill-tempered all-ireland semi-final. in spite of losing out cooney still collected a fourth all-star award. in 1990 cooney was appointed captain of the galway team. that year his team reached a fifth championship decider in six seasons. like 1986 cork provided the opposition and, once again, galway were regarded as the red-hot favourites. cooney put in a brilliant performance in the first half and galway went seven points up at one stage. in spite of this cork fought back and won the game on a score line of 5-15 to 2-21. it was bitterly disappointing for cooney; however, he was later presented with a fifth all-star award. the following few years saw galway's fortunes take a downturn. the team did make it to the all-ireland final in 1993, however, kilkenny emerged victorious on that occasion. the great galway team of the 1980s was now after being broken up, however, cooney continued playing and captured a third national league medal in 1996. in spite of this he had little other success and he retired from inter-county hurling in 2000.
