Barry Hennessy (born 14 October 1989) is an Irish hurler who plays as a goalkeeper for club side Kilmallock and at senior level for the Limerick county team.[1][2]

Playing career

[edit]

College

[edit]

Hennessy first came to prominence as a hurler with Ardscoil Rís in Limerick. Having played in every grade, he was in goal on the college's senior team that reached the semi-finals of the Harty Cup for the first time.[3]

Club

[edit]

Hennessy joined the Kilmallock club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, enjoying championship success in the minor and under-21 grades.

On 3 October 2010, Hennessy lined out in his first Limerick Senior Championship final. A 1-16 to 1-12 defeat of divisional side Emmets gave him his first championship medal.[4]

After surrendering their championship crown in 2011, Kilmallock reached the championship decider again on 7 October 2012. Jake Mulcahy scored a vital goal to secure a 1-15 to 0-15 victory over Adare and a second championship medal for Hennessy.[5]
