Seamus M. Lynch (born 10 August 2002) is an Irish cricketer.

He has played for Munster Reds and Leinster Lightning in Irish inter-provincial cricket, as well as representing Ireland U-17s

Domestic Career

Born in Dublin, Lynch is a product of Terenure Cricket Club.

He was called up to the Ireland Under-17 team in 2018[1] and was added to the Cricket Ireland Academy.[2]

In the restructuring of Irish domestic cricket prior to the 2021 season, Lynch was assigned to the Cork based Munster Reds squad.[3] He made his debut for the Reds in a List A one-day match against North West Warriors at Eglinton,[4] with his Twenty20 debut coming later in the season against Leinster Lightning at Dublin in the first Interprovincial T20 festival of the season.[5]

He moved to Leinster Lightning for the 2022 season but played only a single T20 match.

In June 2023, Lynch was recalled to the Leinster Lightning squad as cover for a number of absentees.[6] In a match against Northern Knights on 5 September, Lynch struck a maiden List A century as he smashed 107 off of just 63 balls.[7]
