Eunan Martin (born 1971) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level, he played with St Rynagh's and at inter-county level with the Offaly senior hurling team.
Playing career
Son of Damien Martin, who won All-Ireland SHC medals with Offaly in 1981 and 1985, Martin first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the St Rynagh's club.[1] He was part of the club's senior team that won three Offaly SHC titles between 1990 and 1993.[2] Martin also won a Leinster Club SHC medal in 1993, following a defeat of Dicksboro in the final.
Martin first appeared on the inter-county scene for Offaly as a member of the under-21 team. He won consecutive Leinster U21HC medals in 1991 and 1992, however, these provincial wins were subsequently followed by consecutive All-Ireland U21HC final defeats.[3] Martin made his senior team debut in a National Hurling League game against Laois in May 1997. He was a member of the extended panel when Offaly beat Kilkenny by 2–16 to 1–13 to become the first "back door" winners of the All-Ireland SHC title in 1998.[4]
Management career
Martin served as Offaly's minor team manager in 2018.[5] He later served as a selector during Ken Hogan's tenure as St Rynagh's manager for their three successive Offaly SHC title victories between 2019 and 2021.[6]
