John Power (John Locke's hurler)

Power first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the John Locke's club while simultaneously lining out with the Callan CBS team that lost consecutive All-Ireland finals in 1982 and 1983. He enjoyed his first success at adult club level in 1993 when John Locke's won the County Intermediate Championship before claiming a second title in 1999. Power first appeared on the inter-county scene with the Kilkenny minor team that lost the All-Ireland final to Limerick in 1984, before losing the All-Ireland under-21 final to Tipperary the following year. Power joined the Kilkenny senior hurling team during the 1985-86 league, however, a hand injury resulted in him leaving the team, linking up with the Kilkenny junior team and winning an All-Ireland Junior Championship medal in 1986. He re-joined the senior team shortly after and would go on to line out in three consecutive All-Ireland finals at senior level and, after defeat by Tipperary in 1991, claimed consecutive winners' medals against Cork in 1992 and Galway in 1993. Power was later dropped from the team before earning a recall under new manager Brian Cody in 1999. He claimed two more All-Ireland winners' medals against Offaly in 2000 and Clare in 2002. Power's other honours include three National League titles, eight Leinster Championship medals and two Railway Cup medals with Leinster. He retired from inter-county hurling in September 2002.
