Ronan Lynch (born 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays as a left corner-forward for the Limerick senior team.[1]

Born in Limerick, Lynch first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Ardscoil Rís.

He joined the senior team during the 2015 championship.

At club level Lynch plays with Na Piarsaigh.

Playing career

[edit]

College

[edit]

During his schooling at Ardscoil Rís in Limerick, Lynch established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2014 he won a Harty Cup medal following a 2–13 to 0–4 trouncing of Limerick rivals Scoil na Trionóide, Doon.[2]

Minor and under-21

[edit]

Lynch was just fifteen-years-old when he first played for Limerick as a member of the minor team on 2 May 2012. He scored 0–11 on his debut in a 0–16 to 1–12 Munster quarter-final defeat of Cork.[3]

In 2013 Lynch was at left wing-back as Limerick faced Waterford in the provincial decider. As Waterford looked to be heading for victory, a last-minute goal from substitute Tom Morrissey ensured a 2–19 apiece draw.[4] The replay was also a close affair, however, Cian Lynch's first-half stoppage time goal proved decisive as Limerick ended a 29-year wait for the title with a 1–20 to 4–8 victory.[5] It was Lynch's first Munster medal.

Lynch was eligible for the minor grade once again in 2014, as Waterford faced the team in the Munster final for a second year in succession. Limerick looked all set to retain their title when leading their opponents by three points in added time, however, Waterford substitute Shane Ryan struck for a dramatic late goal to send the game to a replay.[6] The replay was also a close affair, however, Limerick pulled away in the end to secure a 0–24 to 0–18 victory and a second Munster medal for Lynch.[7] On 7 September 2014 Limerick faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. A 2–5 haul from Kilkenny corner-forward John Walsh ensured a 2–17 to 0–19 defeat for Lynch's side.[8]
