David has been a big star in memorable year for Mayo hurling

The Connaught Telegraph Young Sports Star of the Year, No. 8

 

David Kenny (Hurling)

 

David Kenny starred at centre-back in the Nicky Rackard Cup final and also in the promotion game against Derry.

He also played at number six and captained the Mayo Under 21 hurlers to win the Connaught Under 21 Jim Hogan Cup.

He made a huge contribution to Mayo’s Under 21 win over Kildare in the All-Ireland quarterfinal and an even bigger contribution to lead his team to victory over Roscommon and bring his team into an All-Ireland final meeting with Meath.

Away from hurling, he was a a member of the Mayo Under-21 side that won the All-Ireland title and the Aughamore side that lifted the Mayo Under 21 title.

What a year 2016 was for David.
