David 'Davy' Glennon (born 5 February 1991) [1] is an Irish hurler who plays at inter-county level for Westmeath, [2] having previously played for Galway. He continues to play with his club Mullagh.
Glennon came on as a substitute for Galway in the 2012 All-Ireland SHC final against Kilkenny. [3] In 2016, he publicly admitted to having a serious gambling addiction, which had caused problems with the law, his family and hurling, and even to him contemplating ending his own life. [4]
On 3 September 2017, Glennon was a non-playing substitute for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland SHC title for 29 years by defeating Waterford in the final. [5] [6]
On 17 July 2021, Glennon helped Westmeath win the Joe McDonagh Cup for the first time after a 2–28 to 1–24 win over Kerry at Croke Park. [7]
