Diarmuid Lyng (born 1981 in Wexford, Ireland) and moved to Pircestown. is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling and Gaelic football with his local club St. Martin's and was a member of the Wexford senior inter-county hurling team from 2004 to 2013.
Lyng plays both hurling and Gaelic football with his local club St. Martin's in Piercestown and has enjoyed much success.
In 1999 Lyng was still a member of the clubs minor team when he made his senior debut as a seventeen-year-old. He was a non-playing substitute when St. Martin's defeated Rathnure by two points to win their very first county championship.
After losing a final in the meantime St. Martin's were back in the championship decider in 2008. A 1-13 to 1-8 defeat of Oulart-the-Ballagh gave Lyng his first county title on the field of play.
Lyng first came to prominence with Wexford as a member of the county's minor team in 1999. He enjoyed little success in this grade having lost a Leinster decider to Kilkenny. He later joined the Wexford under-21 team, winning back-to-back Leinster titles in 2001 and 2002.
Lyng made his senior debut for Wexford in a National Hurling League game against Kilkenny in 2004. He remained on the fringes of the team and was a non-playing substitute when Wexford captured the Leinster title. He made his championship debut later that year when he came on as a substitute against Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final.
