Philip Shanahan (born 1992[1]) is an Irish former hurler. At club level, he played with Toomevara and also lined out at inter-county level with various Tipperary teams.
Career
[edit]At club level, Shanahan first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Toomevara, winning numerous championship titles from under-12 up to under-21 level. He progressed to senior level and was part of the Toomevera team that won three successive Tipperary SHC medals from 1992 to 1994.[2] Shanahan also claimed a Munster Club SHC title before later losing the 1994 All-Ireland Club SHC final to Sarsfields.[3][4]
Shanahan captained Toomevara to the Tipperary SHC title in 1998. His club career subsequently saw him win a further four Tipperary SHC titles in five seasons between 2000 and 2004. Shanahan ended his club career by winning a second Munster Club SHC medal after a one-point defeat of Mount Sion in 1994.[5]
At inter-county level, Shanahan first appeared for Tipperary during a two-year tenure with the minor team. He won a Munster MHC medal before appearing in a defeat by Kilkenny in the 1991 All-Ireland MHC final.[6] Shanahan later spent three seasons with the under-21 team and ended his underage career with an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a defeat of Kilkenny in the final.[7] He was also part of the senior team during their National Hurling League-winning campaign in 1994.
