Senan Connell is an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for the Na Fianna club on Dublin's Northside and for the Dublin county team. Senan operated in the half forward line for Dublin. He made his debut for Dublin in a national league match in 1998 against Offaly kicking two points. He cemented his place on the team before a cruciate ligament injury forced him to miss the league final versus Cork in 1999. Senan played at half forward in both the 2000 Leinster final loss to Meath and the 2001 Leinster final loss to Kildare under Tommy Carr. In 2002 Senan was again in the half forward line as Dublin had a breakthrough year beating Wexford, Meath and Kildare as they were crowned Leinster champions with Senan kicking two points in the final. Dublin were eventually undone in the 2002 All Ireland
