Eoin Kelly (born 24 September 1982) is an Irish hurler who played as a full-forward at senior level for the waterford county team.
In his debut year with the team he captured a county intermediate championship medal following a 2-16 to 1-13 defeat of Dungarvan.
[9] Kelly joined the Waterford senior team during the 2001 National Hurling when he started in a group stage game against Derry, however, he played no part in the subsequent championship.
[10] After surrendering the Munster title to Cork in 2003, Kelly's side were back in the provincial showpiece for a third successive year in 2004.
In 2007 Kelly added a National Hurling League medal to his collection when Waterford defeated Kilkenny by 0-20 to 0-18 in the final.
2008 began poorly for Waterford as the team lost their opening game to Clare as well as their manager Justin McCarthy.
In spite of this poor start Kelly's side reached the All-Ireland final for the first time in forty-five years.
A 2-15 apiece draw was the result on that occasion, however, Waterford went on to win the replay after an extra-time goal by Dan Shanahan.
[17] The year eventually ended without any silverware for Waterford and Kelly decided to retire from inter-county hurling.
