Pádraig Cantwell (born 2000) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Shamrocks and at inter-county level with the Offaly senior hurling team.
Cantwell first played hurling and Gaelic football to a high standard as a student at Killina Presentation Secondary School. [1] He later earned inclusion on the DCU Dóchas Éireann team for the Fitzgibbon Cup. [2]
At club level, Cantwell progressed through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Shamrocks club before joining the club's adult teams as a dual player. He was part of the club's senior football team that beat Tubber in 2018 to win the Offaly SBFC title. [3]
Cantwell first appeared on the inter-county scene for Offaly during an unsuccessful one-year tenure with the under-20 team in 2020.
