Eimhin Kelly (born 1998) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Lusmagh and at inter-county level with the Offaly senior hurling team.
Career
Kelly first played hurling to a high standard[original research?] in various Leinster competitions as a student at Banagher College in Banagher.[1][2] After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Lusmagh club, he eventually made his debut at adult level.[3]
Kelly first appeared on the inter-county scene during an unsuccessful[clarification needed] two-year tenure with the Offaly minor hurling team in 2015 and 2016.[4] He later spent one season with the under-21 team.[5]
Kelly made his senior team debut during the 2021 National Hurling League.[6] He secured his first silverware in his debut season, when Offaly claimed the National League Division 2A and Christy Ring Cup titles.[7] Kelly won a Joe McDonagh Cup medal in 2024 after a defeat of Laois in the final.[8]

His father, Brendan Kelly, was an All-Ireland SHC-winner with Offaly in 1994.[9]
