Born in 1995, the Naomh Éanna full-forward joined the club's top adult team at 16 and has won county titles in 2012, 2015 and 2018 alongside a Leinster senior crown with Wexford.
Conor McDonald, born 22 September 1995, is the clearest example of what the Naomh Éanna pathway can produce: a hurler who joined the club as a child, played every juvenile grade, and became Wexford's full-forward.
His underage career was not a straight line. He won championship success at under-12, then lost finals at under-14, under-16, minor and under-21. He joined the club's top adult team as a 16-year-old during the 2012 Intermediate A Championship, and on 6 October 2012 scored a first-half goal in the 1-15 to 1-11 final win over Marshalstown-Castledockrell.
Three years later he scored 1-05 in the 2015 Wexford Intermediate final win over Crossabeg-Ballymurn, and on 21 October 2018 he scored 2-01 from play as Naomh Éanna beat St Martin's 2-11 to 0-13 to become senior county champions for the first time.
With Wexford he first came to prominence through Gorey Community School and the club, won three Leinster Under-21 Championships (2013, 2014, 2015), the Walsh Cup in 2018, and the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2019 against Kilkenny. He was an All-Star nominee in 2017.
Other notable club names sit alongside his: Billy Byrne, Ger Cushe, J. J. Doyle, Rory Kinsella, and Shane McGuckin, who hurled at county level with Offaly.
