Séamus Hennessy (born 1956[1]) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Kilruane MacDonaghs and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.
Hennessy first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs.[2] He is the only player to have lined out in six consecutive divisional under-21 finals and is one of only a handful of players to have won four consecutive Tipperary U21AHC titles with the club from 1973 to 1976. Hennessy was the youngest ever Kilruane player to line out in a North Tipperary SHC final when he did so as a 17-year-old in 1973. He came on as a substitute for Enda Hogan at midfield when Kilruane MacDonaghs won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986[3] [4]
Hennessy first appeared on the inter-county scene during a two-year tenure with the Tipperary minor hurling team. He also spent two seasons with the under-21 team. Hennessy's performances at club level earned his inclusion on the senior team for the 1979 Munster SHC campaign.[5]
His son, also called Séamus Hennessy, was part of the Tipperary team that won the All-Ireland SHC title in 2010.[6]
