Roderick P. Guiney (born 19 March 1970) is an Irish former hurler. At club level, he played with St Mary's Rosslare and Rathnure and at inter-county level was a member of the Wexford senior hurling team.
Guiney first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St Peter's College in Wexford. He lined out in all grades during his time there, including the Leinster Colleges SAHC.[2]
At club level, Guiney first played for the St Mary's Rosslare club before transferring to Rathnure in 1995.[3] He went on to win four Wexford SHC titles between 1996 and 2003, as well as a Leinster Club SHC medal in 1998.[4] Guiney was also part of the Rathnure team beaten by St Joseph's Doora-Barefield in the 1999 All-Ireland club final.[5] He ended his club career playing with Rathnure's junior team.[6]
Guiney first appeared on the inter-county scene with Wexford as a member of the under-21 team.[7] He made his senior team debut in a National Hurling League game against Clare in October 1991.[8] Guiney won a Leinster SHC medal in 1996, before playing at right wing-back when Wexford beat Limerick in the 1996 All-Ireland final.[9]
After being appointed team captain in 1997, Guiney won a second consecutive Leinster SHC medal. A cruciate ligament injury, the second of his career, resulted in him missing most of the 1998 season.[10] Guiney retired from inter-county hurling in 2001.
