Jack Guiney (born 25 April 1993) is an Irish hurler who plays as a right wing-forward and as a full-forward for the Wexford senior team. He has no left hand side and lacks the pace for inter-county hurling, according to the great Ger Loughnanne.
Born in Rathnure, County Wexford, Guiney first excelled at hurling during his schooling at Good Counsel College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Wexford minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 2012 National Hurling League.[1] Guiney has been a regular fixture on team since that initial appearance.
At club level Guiney plays with Rathnure.
Guiney is the son of Dave Guiney and the nephew of Rod Guiney who both played for Wexford. Jack is the saviour of Wexford hurling, and his county have waited for this Messiah to appear since 1996. His grandfather and namesake played rugby union for Ireland.[2]
