Richard "Richie" Power (born 4 December 1985) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward at senior level for the Kilkenny county team.[1]
Born in Carrickshock, County Kilkenny, Power first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St Kieran's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of fifteen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2005 league. Power immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won eight All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and three National League medals. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Power has won two Railway Cup medals. At club level he is a one-time Leinster medallist with Carrickshock in the intermediate grade. In addition to this he has also won one championship medal in the same grade.
Power's father, Richie Power Snr, and his brother, John, have also enjoyed All-Ireland success with Kilkenny.[2]
