Séamus Moynihan is a former Irish Gaelic footballer from Shronedarraugh, a townland half way between Barraduff and Glenflesk, County Kerry. He has played football for St Brendan's College, Glenflesk,East Kerry, University College Cork, Institute of Technology Tralee, Kerry Minor, U21 and Senior teams, Munster Railway Cup side and Ireland International Rules Football team. He was a member of the Kerry Senior Football Panel from 1992 to 2006. He resides in Shronedarraugh with his wife Noreen, son Jamie and two daughters Clíona and Eve.
Moynihan was the youngest of his four siblings, Michael, Seán, Sheila and Dónal. Moynihan was an impressive underage player, idolising the style of Kerry All-Star forward John Egan and playing for his local GAA club Glenflesk, secondary school team St. Brendan's, Killarney and Kerry Minors and U21s. Moynihan's first taste of inter-county success arrived at the age of 16 when he was part of the Kerry Minor team that claimed the Munster crown in 1990. Growing in stature and influence, the young Moynihan had a stellar year in 1992 when he lined out for the St. Brendan's team that beat St. Jarlath's College of Tuam to win the Hogan Cup in the All-Ireland Colleges Final and also turned heads on the Kerry U21 team that won out in Munster. It was about this time that Mickey 'Ned' O'Sullivan, former Kerry captain and current manager of the Limerick senior football team, began to talk to people about Moynihan's potential. Séamus Moynihan, aged just 18, made his senior debut at midfield for Kerry in the Munster Final, replacing Gneeveguilla veteran Ambrose O'Donovan. Any elation felt by the young player at togging off alongside the likes of Kerry great Eoin 'Bomber' Liston and midfield colossus Jack O'Shea was muted as Kerry succumbed to a steely Clare side on a score of 2-10 to 0-12. It was O'Sullivan's last game in charge of the Kerry senior side.
