Michael Kenny (1893 – 25 June 1959) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Galway senior team from 1922 until 1924.
[citation needed] Once again the championship was suspended in 1924, however, Tynagh continued their dominance on its resumption by reaching the county final again in 1925.
[citation needed] Kenny first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Galway senior team as captain in 1921.
He enjoyed little success in his first two years on the team, however, Galway gave a good account of themselves in a narrow defeat by Tipperary in the 1922 All-Ireland semi-final.
After beating reigning champions Kilkenny at the penultimate stage, Galway now faced Limerick who were bidding for a third All-Ireland title in seven years.
Two goals by Dublin forward Garrett Howard and a great goalkeeping display by Tommy Daly ensured a 5-3 to 2-6 defeat for Galway.
