[1] Widely regarded as one of the Patrickswell club's all-time greats, Bennis's career lasted for nearly twenty years.
During that time he and his six brothers contributed to much success, with Bennis winning five Limerick Senior Championship medals.
He was born into a large family of seven boys and six girls, and from an early age he showed a great interest in the game of hurling.
Bennis served as manager of the Limerick senior hurling team for two separate spells in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The closest he got was to contest the 1992 Munster Final against Cork in Semple Stadium, Thurles, but Limerick lost on a scoreline of 1-22 to 3-11.
