Greg Kennedy (born 15 April 1976) is an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Galway senior team.[1]
Kennedy joined the team during the 1996 championship and subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2007 championship. During that time he won four consecutive Connacht medals.
At club level Kennedy is a one-time Connacht medalist with Loughrea. He has also won one county club championship medal.
On 11 May 2019, Kennedy was part of the Dublin back-room team for the 2019 Leinster Senior Hurling Championship match against Kilkenny. He was on the field as a runner in the first half when he intercepted a quickly-taken TJ Reid free by catching the ball and throwing it back to Reid.[2] He was handed a proposed four-week ban for his actions.[3]
