Mick Daniels (born 1905, date of death unknown) was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club Army Metro and was a member of the Dublin senior inter-county team from 1930 until 1939. Daniels captained Dublin to All-Ireland victory in 1938.
Daniels played his club hurling with his local club Army Metro and enjoyed much success. He won his first senior county title in 1933 and added two more county medals to his collection in 1935 and 1938.
Daniels first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with Dublin in the early 1930s. He made his debut in 1930 when he came on as a substitute in the All-Ireland final. Dublin played Tipperary on that occasion, however, the victory went to the men from Tipp.
‘The Dubs’ reached the Leinster finals again in 1932 and 1933, however, Kilkenny emerged victorious on both occasions. It was 1934 before Daniels won his first Leinster title as Dublin finally triumphed over Kilkenny. The subsequent All-Ireland final saw Daniels’s side take on Limerick. The game, however, ended in a draw – 2-7 to 3-4 – and both teams returned to Croke Park a month later for the replay. In a high-scoring game Limerick sealed the victory on a score line of 5-2 to 2-6.
Dublin went into decline for the next few years; however, in 1938 ‘the Dubs’ were back with Daniels as captain. That year he collected a second Leinster medal before later leading his team out in Croke Park for the All-Ireland final. Waterford, who were playing in their first championship decider, provided the opposition on that occasion. The Munster men got off to a good start, however, Dublin fought back. A 2-5 to 1-6 victory gave Dublin the victory and gave Daniels an All-Ireland medal.
