David Breen (born 20 September 1985) is an Irish hurler who played centre-forward and was the captain of the Limerick senior team.[1]
Breen made his first appearance for the team during the 2009 championship and has become a regular member of the starting fifteen over the last few seasons. Since then he has won one National Hurling League (Division 2) winners' medal.
At club level, Breen has won both Munster and county championship winners' medals with Na Piarsaigh.
Breen plays his club hurling with the Na Piarsaigh club in Limerick. After developing his hurling at juvenile levels he later came to prominence as a member of the club's minor hurling team. He enjoyed little success in this grade, however, he later joined the Na Piarsaigh under-21 team. He won a county under-21 championship title in this grade in 2004 following a defeat of Doon.
By this stage Breen had joined the club's senior hurling team. He won a county senior championship winners' medal in 2011 following a 2-18 to 0-13 defeat of Ahane. It was Na Piarsaigh's first ever championship title. Breen later won a Munster club winners' medal following a 1-13 to 0-9 victory over Crusheen in a replay.[2]
