Patrick 'Pa' Kearney (born 16 November 1987)[ citation needed] is an Irish sportsman. He plays hurling with his local club Ballyduff Upper and has been a member of the Waterford senior inter-county team since 2007.[ citation needed]
Kearney plays his club hurling with Ballyduff Upper. [1] Kearney has had several successes with the club, including winning the Waterford Intermediate Hurling Championship with the club in 2005 and the Waterford Senior Hurling Championship in 2007.[ citation needed]
Kearney first came to Justin McCarthy's attention after an impressive performance at club level.[ citation needed] While Kearney joined the panel during the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 2007,[ citation needed] Kearney did not play his first game for Waterford until the National Hurling League 2008. Kearney was part of the Waterford squad which made the 2008 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final, the county's first final since 1963. [2] Unfortunately for Kearney, Waterford ended up losing heavily to Kilkenny GAA in the final. Kearney was injured in a car crash in 2009 suffering a spinal injury and will not take part in Waterford's 2010 Hurling Season. All in Waterford GAA wish Kearney a speedy and successful recovery and hope to see him playing hurling for Waterford in the near future.
