Playing career

During the munster schools cup quarter final against Crescent in February 1991, Crotty announced his arrival as a talent by kicking a match-equalising conversion, thus forcing a replay in Cork which his team duly won. He was 16 at the time. Years later, in UCC, he is best remembered for an electrifying try scored against UCD at the Mardyke, where he beat practically the entire opposition team to score. Crotty played at Fullback and also on the Wing for Garryowen, Munster and the Irish national team, earning five caps between 1996 and 2000.[1][2]
