Brian Concannon (born 1997) is an Irish hurler who plays as a right corner-forward for club side Killimordaly and at inter-county level with the Galway senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a right corner-forward.
As a student at NUI Galway, Concannon has been a regular player on the university's senior hurling team in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[1]
Concannon joined the Killimordaly club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels before joining the club's senior team.[2]
Concannon first played for Galway as a member of the minor hurling team on 26 July 2015. He made his first appearance in a 1-14 to 0-13 All-Ireland quarter-final defeat of Limerick.[3] On 6 September 2015, Concannon scored a goal from right wing-forward in Galway's 4-13 to 1-16 defeat of Tipperary in the All-Ireland final at Croke Park.[4]
On 20 August 2016, Concannon made his first appearance for the Galway under-21 team in a 0-21 to 0-19 All-Ireland semi-final defeat of Dublin.[5] In the subsequent All-Ireland final on 10 September 2016, he was an unused substitute in the 5-15 to 0-14 defeat by Waterford.[6]
Concannon won a Leinster Championship medal on 4 July 2018 after a 4-21 to 2-26 extra-time defeat of Wexford in the final.[7] In Concannon's last game in the grade on 8 August 2018, he was red-carded in the 33rd minute for an off-the-ball strike.[8]
Concannon was one of eight new players drafted onto the Galway senior hurling panel prior to the start of the 2018 National League.[9] He made his senior debut, scoring 1-01 from play at right corner-forward, in a 1-19 to 1-16 National Hurling League defeat of Antrim on 28 January 2018.[10] Later that season Concannon made his first appearance in the Leinster Championship, scoring 2-01 from play, in a 5-18 to 2-15 defeat of Offaly.[11] On 8 July 2018, he was an unused substitute in Galway's 1-28 to 3-15 Leinster final replay defeat of Kilkenny at Semple Stadium.[12] Concannon subsequently missed the All-Ireland final defeat by Limerick after having the red card he picked up in an under-21 game upheld after an appeal.[13]
