Ronan Connolly (born 1999) is an Irish hurler who plays for Limerick Senior Championship club Adare and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.[1] He usually lines out as a left corner-back.
Connolly first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Adare club, while also playing as a schoolboy with Ardscoil Rís. He won a Harty Cup title in 2016, before captaining Ardscoil Rís to a second Harty Cup in 2018.[2] [3] Connolly later lined out with University College Cork and was an unused substitute when the Fitzgibbon Cup title was won in 2020.[4] [5]
Connolly first appeared on the inter-county scene with Limerick as a member of the minor team in 2017.[6] He later spent one season with the under-20 team.[7] Connolly was called into the senior team in advance of the pre-season 2019 Munster SHL. He was on the 41-man panel that won the National Hurling League title later that season, but was released prior to the start of the championship.[8] Connolly later returned and was part of the Limerick panel that won four successive All-Ireland SHC titles from 2020 to 2023.[9]
