Playing career

Na Piarsaigh

Son of Christy Connery and Susan Connery (Formerly Aher), a stalwart of the Na Piarsaigh club on the northside of Cork city, Connery first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the same club.[1] He was a member of the half-back line when the club's minor team defeated Killeagh-St. Ita's by 5-09 to 0-10 to win the Cork Premier 1 MHC title in 2016.[citation needed]

On 29 April 2018, Connery made his debut with the Na Piarsaigh senior team in a 2-15 to 0-15 defeat by Bandon in the 2018 Cork County Championship.[citation needed]

Cork

Under-17 and minor

Connery first lined out for Cork as a member of the under-17 team during the 2017 Munster Championship. He made his first appearance at right corner-back on 11 April in a 0-16 to 0-06 defeat of Limerick.[2] On 25 April, Connery scored four points and claimed the Munster Championship title after a 3-13 to 1-12 defeat of Waterford in the final. He was again included on the starting fifteen, this time at midfield, for Cork's 1-19 to 1-17 All-Ireland final defeat of Dublin on 6 August.[3]

As well as being a member of the Cork under-17 team in 2017, Connery was also in his second year as a member of the Cork minor team. On 9 July, he was at midfield when Cork defeated Clare by 4-21 to 0-16 to win the Munster Championship for the first time since 2008.[4] On 3 September, Connery was again at midfield when Cork suffered a 2-17 to 2-15 All-Ireland final defeat by Galway.[5]

Under-21 and under-20

Connery was still just 18-years-old when he was drafted onto the Cork under-21 team. He won a Munster Championship medal on 4 July 2018, after coming on as a substitute in Cork's 2-23 to 1-13 defeat of Tipperary in the final.[6] On 26 August 2018, Connery was an unused substitute in Cork's 3-13 to 1-16 All-Ireland final defeat by Tipperary.[7]

On 3 July 2019, Connery made his first appearance for Cork's inaugural under-20 team in the Munster Championship. He scored three points, including a sideline cut, in the 1-20 to 0-16 defeat of Limerick.[8] On 23 July 2019, Connery was again at midfield when Cork suffered a 3-15 to 2-17 defeat by Tipperary in the Munster final.[9] He was selected at left wing-forward when Cork faced Tipperary for a second time that year in the All-Ireland final on 24 August 2019. Connery ended the game on the losing side after a 5-17 to 1-18 defeat.[10]

Senior

Connery was brought onto the Cork senior panel during the 2020 National League. He made the match-day panel for the first time for Cork's group stage game against Limerick on 23 February 2020.[11] Connery was later included on Cork's Munster Championship panel and made his debut as a late replacement at left wing-forward for Aidan Walsh in a 1-28 to 1-24 defeat by Waterford.[12]
