Inter-county

Kerwick made his senior competitive debut for Tipperary in the 2006 Waterford Crystal Cup against Limerick, however, he remained on the periphery of the team for a number of seasons.[ citation needed ]

In 2008 Kerwick made his National Hurling League debut against Offaly in 2008, lining out at right half-forward and scoring 1-1 from play. Later that season he made his championship debut as Tipperary later reached the Munster final where they defeated a resurgent Clare team by 2–21 to 0–19. [1] It was Kerwick's first Munster winners' medal. Tipperary were subsequently defeated in a tense All-Ireland semi-final by Waterford on a scoreline of 1–20 to 1–18. [2]

Kerwick won his second Munster medal in 2009 as Tipp defeated Waterford by 4–14 to 2–16. [3] After a six-week lay-off and a facile semi-final win over Limerick, Tipp qualified for an All-Ireland final meeting with Kilkenny. For much of the match it looked as if Tipp would pull off a shock and deny 'the Cats' a record-equaling four-in-a-row. Two quick goals in the space of a minute, one from a penalty by Henry Shefflin, sealed a 2–22 to 0–23 victory and defeat for Tipperary. [4] In spite of this defeat Kerwick was subsequently nominated for an All-Star award. [5]

During the 2010 championship campaign Kerwick played no part in Tipperary's campaign. In spite of this he won an All-Ireland medal that year following Tipp's 4–17 to 1–18 defeat of Kilkenny. [6] Kerwick sang "The Galtee Mountain Boy" following the presentation of the Liam MacCarthy Cup to Tipperary, reminiscent of the singing of The West's Awake after Galway's win in 1980. [7]

Kerwick fell out of favour with new Tiperary manager Declan Ryan, and played no part in the 2011 championship. He was eventually dropped from the panel in 2012. [8]
