Greg Kennedy (hurler)

Greg Kennedy, born on 15 April 1976, is an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Galway senior team. He joined the team during the 1996 championship and became a regular in the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2007 championship, during which time he won four consecutive Connacht medals. At club level he is a one-time Connacht medallist with Loughrea, who also won one county club championship medal. On 11 May 2019 he was part of the Dublin back-room team for the 2019 Leinster Senior Hurling Championship match against Kilkenny, and was on the field as a runner in the first half when he intercepted a quickly taken T. J. Reid free by catching the ball and throwing it back to Reid, for which a four-week ban was proposed.
