Career

edit

Born in Birr, County Offaly, Cahill is the son of former Offaly player Gary Cahill.[1] He first came to prominence as juvenile and under age levels with Birr before progressing onto the club's senior team.[2] He simultaneously lined out with Mary Immaculate College in the Fitzgibbon Cup and was included on that competition's Team of the Year in 2019.[3]

Cahill first appeared on the inter-county scene with Offaly during a two-year stint with the minor team before a three-year stint with the under-21 team, during which time he moved from being an outfield player to goalkeeper.[4][5] He made his debut with the senior team during the 2018 National Hurling League.[6]

Cahill secured his first silverware during the 2021 season, when Offaly claimed the National League Division 2A and Christy Ring Cup titles.[7] He claimed further Division 2A honours in 2023 before winning a Joe McDonagh Cup medal after a defeat of Laois in the 2024 final.[8]
