Eamon Morrissey (born 22 March 1966) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with O'Loughlin Gaels, St Martin's and O'Toole's and was also a member of the Kilkenny and Dublin senior hurling teams. He usually lined out as a forward.[1]
Morrissey first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the St Martin's club while simultaneously lining out with the St Kieran's College team that lost the All-Ireland final in 1984. As a member of the St Martin's senior team he came on as a substitute for their All-Ireland Club Championship success in 1985.[2] Morrissey first appeared on the inter-county scene with the Kilkenny minor team that lost the All-Ireland final to Limerick in 1984, before losing the All-Ireland under-21 final to Tipperary the following year. He was drafted onto the Kilkenny senior hurling team in 1989. Morrissey would go on to line out in three consecutive All-Ireland finals at senior level and, after defeat by Tipperary in 1991, claimed consecutive winners' medals against Cork in 1992 and Galway in 1993.[3] [4] [5] He transferred to the O'Toole's club in Dublin in 1996 and won consecutive County Senior Championship titles before a three-year stint with the Dublin senior hurling team.[6] Morrissey's other honours include two National League titles, three Leinster Championship medals and a Railway Cup medals with Leinster.
