Playing career
Born in Ballyphehane, Cork, Leonard first played hurling as a member of the Redmonds club.[1] He was a member of the club's senior team when they won back-to-back County Senior Championships in 1900 and 1901. These victories earned Leonard a call-up to the Cork senior hurling team for the 1901 Munster Championship. After being appointed captaincy of the team, he was replaced midway through the championship but won a Munster Championship medal after a win over Clare.[2] Leonard later lined out in Cork's defeat by London in the 1901 All-Ireland final.[3]
