Donnacha Cody (born 24 December 1985) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with James Stephens, and also lined out at inter-county level with various Kilkenny teams.
Career
[edit | edit source]Cody first played hurling as a schoolboy at St Kieran's College in Kilkenny. He was part of the college team that won back-to-back Croke Cup titles after defeat of St Colman's College in 2003 and St Raphael's College in 2004.[1][2] Cody later lined out with University College Cork in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[3]
At club level, Cody began his career at juvenile and underage levels with James Stephens. He had just won a Kilkenny MHC title in 2003 when he was drafted onto the club's senior team, winning his first Kilkenny SHC medal in 2004.[4] He later won a Leinster Club SHC medal before claiming the ultimate club honour following James Stephens's defeat of Athenry in the 2005 All-Ireland club final.[5] Cody won a second set of Kilkenny and Leinster Club SHC medals the following year when James Stephens retained those titles.[6] He claimed a third and final Kilkenny SHC medal after a defeat of Ballyhale Shamrocks in 2011.[7]
Cody first appeared on the inter-county scene with Kilkenny, as a member of the minor team that won the All-Ireland MHC title after a defeat of Galway in 2003.[8] He subsequently progressed to the under-21 and, after losing the 2005 All-Ireland under-21 final to Galway, Cody claimed a winners' medal in that grade the following year, however, he missed the all-Ireland final defeat of Tipperary through injury.[9][10]
By that stage, Cody had already joined the senior team, under the management of his father Brian Cody.[11] He was part of the National League and Leinster SHC-winning teams in 2006, however, he was dropped from the team before the All-Ireland SHC victory.[12] Cody was recalled to the senior panel the following year and won further Leinster and All-Ireland SHC medals as a panel member in 2007 and 2008.
Personal life
[edit | edit source]His father, Brian Cody, won four All-Ireland SHC medals as a player with Kilkenny, before managing the team to 11 All-Ireland SHC titles during his 24 seasons in charge.[13] His mother, Elsie Walsh, played camogie with Wexford.[14] His brother, Diarmuid Cody, was an All-Ireland SHC-winner with Kilkenny in 2015.[15]
