Séamus Harnedy (born 17 July 1990) is an Irish hurler who plays for East Cork Championship club St Ita's, divisional side Imokilly and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a centre-forward.
Playing career[edit]
University College Cork[edit]
During his tenure at University College Cork, Harnedy played a key role for the university's various hurling teams.[citation needed]
In 2010 he was at corner-forward when UCC faced fierce local rivals and three-in-a-row Cork Institute of Technology in the final of the All-Ireland Freshers Championship. UCC went on to secure a 3-8 to 1-7 victory, giving Harnedy a winners' medal.[1]
Harnedy progressed onto the UCC senior team during the 2011-12 college year, and lined out in the final of the Fitzgibbon Cup. CIT provided the opposition, however, UCC claimed an extra-time win as they celebrated the centenary of the competition on home soil with a narrow 2-15 to 2-14 victory.[2] It was Harnedy's first Fitzgibbon Cup medal.[citation needed]
In 2012-13 UCC reached the Fitzgibbon decider once again. Mary Immaculate College were the surprise opponents, however, tradition prevailed and UCC retained their title with a 2-17 to 2-12 victory.[3] It was Harnedy's second Fitzgibbon Cup medal.
St Ita's[edit]
Harnedy joined the Killeagh-Ita's amalgamation at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels before lining out for the St Ita's club at adult level.
On 8 September 2007, Harnedy lined out at left corner-forward when St Ita's drew with Castlemagner in the final of the Cork Junior B Championship.[4] St Ita's won the subsequent replay by 0-12 to 0-07, with Harnedy claiming his first silverware with the club.
Imokilly[edit]
Harnedy's performances at club level lead to him being selected for the Imokilly divisional team for the 2010 Cork Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 1 May and was described as "impressive" after scoring 1-04 from play in the 3-25 to 0-05 defeat of Seandún.[5] Harnedy ended the championship as Imokilly's second-highest scorer with 2-13.
Harnedy was appointed captain of the Imokilly team for the 2017 Cork Championship. On 22 October, he captained the team from centre-forward when Imokilly faced Blackrock in the final. He scored 1-01 from play in the 3-13 to 0-18 victory.[6] It was the division's first title since 1998.
Harnedy retained the captaincy for the 2018 Cork Championship. On 14 October, he top scored with 1-06 from play when Imokilly retained the title after a 4-19 to 1-18 defeat of Midleton in the final.[7]
For the third successive year, Harnedy captained Imokilly to the county final on 20 October 2019. Lining out at centre-forward, he scored 1-02 from play and collected a third successive winners' medal after the 2-17 to 1-16 defeat of Glen Rovers.[8]
Cork[edit]
Under-21[edit]
Harnedy was added to the Cork under-21 team in his final eligible year for the grade in 2011. His first involvement with the team came on 15 July when he was an unused substitute for Cork's 4-19 to 1-21 defeat of Tipperary in the Munster semi-final.[9] Harnedy was again an unused substitute when Cork suffered a 4-20 to 1-27 defeat by Limerick in the final on 3 August.[10]
Senior[edit]
Harnedy was added to the Cork senior team for the 2011 Waterford Crystal Cup.[11] He made his first appearance for the team on 23 January when he lined out at full-forward against University College Cork. Harnedy was held scoreless and was substituted in the 45th minute, however, Cork went on to win the game by 3-17 to 1-22.[12] He failed to secure a place on the Cork panel for the National League.
After a two-year absence, Harnedy returned to the Cork senior team during the 2013 Waterford Crystal Cup. He was retained on the panel after the pre-season competition and made his first National League appearance on 10 March in a 1-12 to 0-15 draw with Waterford.[13][14][15] On 23 June, Harnedy made his Munster Championship debut and scored 0-03 from right wing-forward in a 0-23 to 0-15 defeat of Clare at the Gaelic Grounds.[16] He lined out in his first Munster final on 14 July 2013. Harnedy scored 0-03 in the 0-24 to 0-15 defeat by Limerick.[17] On 8 September, he lined out at right wing-forward against Clare in the All-Ireland final. He scored 0-02 for Cork in the 3-16 to 0-25 draw.[18] Harnedy was again at right wing-forward for the replay on 28 September and scored 1-02 from play in the 5-16 to 3-16 defeat.[19] He ended the season by being named at right wing-forward on the All-Star team.[20]
On 3 July 2014, Harnedy won a Munster Championship medal after scoring 1-02 from play in Cork's 2-24 to 0-24 defeat of Limerick in the last final to be played at the old Páirc Uí Chaoimh.[21] He was also named man of the match.
On 3 May 2015, Harnedy was selected at centre-forward for Cork's National League final-meeting with Waterford. He scored 0-02 before being substituted due to an injury in the 70th-minute in the 1-24 to 0-17 defeat.[22] Harnedy missed the opening game of the Munster Championship because of the hamstring injury.[23]
Harnedy lined out in his second Munster final on 9 July 2017. Playing at left corner-forward, he scored 0-02 from play in the 1-25 to 1-20 defeat of Clare.[24]
Harnedy was appointed captain of the Cork senior hurling team for the 2018 season.[25] On 1 July, he won a third Munster Championship medal after scoring 1-04 from play in Cork's 2-24 to 3-19 defeat of Clare in the final.[26] Harnedy was later named in the left wing-forward position on the All-Star team.[27]
