Brendan Fennelly (1956 – 31 July 2019) was an Irish hurling manager and player.
A member of the famous Fennelly hurling dynasty, he enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with Ballyhale Shamrocks and at inter-county level with Kilkenny. He was a forward with the Kilkenny minor, under-21 and senior teams in the 1970s and collected All-Ireland medals at under-age levels. Fennelly was also an All-Ireland medal-winner at club level with Ballyhale.
In retirement from playing, Fennelly has become involved in team management at all levels. He served as manager of the Carlow senior inter-county team in the late 1990s while also having spells with the Dunnamaggin, De La Salle and Carrickshock clubs. Fennelly was manager of the Laois senior hurling team from 2010 until 2011.[1]
