Patrick Broderick (born 1949) is an Irish former hurler. At club level, he played with Fenians and at inter-county level with the Kilkenny senior hurling team.
Career
[edit]Broderick played his club hurling with the newly-formed Fenians club in Johnstown. He won his first Kilkenny SHC medal after a 2–11 to 3–05 defeat of James Stephens in the final in 1971.[1] Broderick claimed further honours when Fenians won three successive Kilkenny SHC titles between 1972 and 1974.[2] He also won a Leinster Club SHC medal before a defeat by St Finbarr's in the 1975 All-Ireland Club SHC final.[3] Broderick won a fifth and final Kilkenny SHC medal in 1977.[4]
Having never played in the minor or under-21 grades, Broderick made his first appearance for Kilkenny as a member of the senior team in 1971. It took him two years before he established himself on the team. Broderick won a Leinster SHC medal before lining out in the 1–21 to 1–14 defeat by Limerick in the 1973 All-Ireland SHC final.[5][6] He is the last player to wear glasses in an All-Ireland final.[7]
