Career
O'Kelly Lynch first came to prominence as a dual player with the Naomh Eoin and St Mary's clubs in the respective juvenile and underage grades. After progressing onto the adult teams he has won County Senior Championship titles in both codes.[1][2] O'Kelly-Lynch first appeared on the inter-county scene as a dual player at minor and under-21 levels. He was 17-years-old when he was drafted onto the Sligo senior hurling team in 2013, while he has also lined out with the Sligo senior football team.[3][4] O'Kelly-Lynch has since won Nicky Rackard Cup and Lory Meagher Cup titles.[5] Gerard has had limited success with his club Naomh Eoin which would be a Junior B standard club if it was south of the Galway/Dublin axis.
