Éamonn Wallace (5 September 1959 – 23 November 2022) was an Irish hurler who played for Kilkenny Senior Championship club Erin's Own. He also played for the Kilkenny senior hurling team and was a member of the All-Ireland Championship-winning teams in 1982 and 1983.
Wallace first played hurling with the Erin's Own club in Castlecomer. He enjoyed some success in the underage grades, winning a divisional minor medal in 1975 and a Kilkenny U21HC title in 1978. Wallace subsequently joined the Erin's Own senior team.
Wallace first appeared on the inter-county scene with Kilkenny as a member of the minor team. He was at full-forward when the team beat Cork in the 1977 All-Ireland minor final.[1] Wallace was also part of the under-21 team that was beaten by Tipperary in the 1980 All-Ireland under-21 final. He subsequently joined the senior team and was an unused substitute for Kilkenny's back-to-back National League, Leinster SHC and All-Ireland SHC success in 1982 and 1983.[2] [3]
