Pat Kenneally, born in 1968, is a former Irish sportsperson who played hurling with his local club Newcestown and with the Cork senior inter-county teams in the 1990s. First selected in 1989, he captained Cork in 1995, an honour he reached after being named man of the match in the 1994 county success of his division Carbery, and he played in four county finals for his club. His inter-county career began as a Cork minor hurler in 1986, and he went on to win All-Ireland medals in the under-21, junior and senior grades, including an All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship medal in 1994 and an Under-21 Hurling Championship medal in 1989, as well as a junior football medal in 1989. In 1990 he was in the senior hurling squad that, alongside the footballers, achieved an historic double for Cork, and in 1993 he won a National Hurling League medal.
