Brother Damien Brennan-The silent man behind the Kilkenny success story

@ Mark Townsend

Between 2000 and 2015, Kilkenny won 11 All Ireland senior hurling titles. It was an unprecedented period of success for any GAA side, and across the land, people came to laud the players and management for their outstanding achievement.

But there was another man, working unofficially in the background, who also played a crucial role. Brother Damien Brennan was a Christian Brother from Laois, who came to Kilkenny in the 1990s to work in the secondary school in Callan and assist with the local hurling teams. In the last number of years, the likes of Henry Shefflin, Jackie Tyrrell and JJ Delaney have gone on record to say he was a key figure in their careers. But who was this mysterious man behind the scenes? What was the secret of his success? Who was the real Brother Damien Brennan?

Mark Townsend is from Callan, Co. Kilkenny. He was a student of Brother Damien Brennan from 1997 to 2001.
