James Masters

James Masters (born 13 July 1982 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for the Nemo Rangers club and at senior level for the Cork county team from 2005 until 2010. Biography James Masters was born in Cork in 1982. He was educated locally at Coláiste Chríost Rí on the south side of the city. It was here that he first came to prominence as a hurler and a footballer on various school teams. In 2001 Masters was the star player for the coláiste when he scored nine points against St. Colman's College to win the county colleges' title. He later studied at the Garda Síochána College in Templemore and currently works as a Garda in Crookstown. Playing career Club Masters played his club hurling and football with the Nemo Rangers club in Cork. He joined the senior panel in the early 2000s; however, he had to wait several years before he would make a big impact, due to the presence of stalwarts Joe Kavanagh and Colin Corkery playing in his favoured position. In 2002 Nemo reached the final of the provincial club championship. Masters came on as a substitute in that game as the club trounced Monaleen of Limerick by 4–15 to 0–6. It was Masters's first Munster Senior Club Football Championship winners' medal. In spite of contributing to this victory he played no part in Nemo's subsequent All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship triumph on St Patrick's Day, 2003.
