Neilus Flynn was a hurler who played hurling with Causeway in County Kerry. He was the club's first Kerry Senior Hurling Championship-winning captain in 1932. He had the honour of captaining two different teams to Championship success; Causeway in 1932, and St Brendan's in 1936. He also captained a Shannon Rovers amalgamation in the 1939 County Final defeat to Crotta.
