Patrick Ryan (born 1958) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Borris–Ileigh and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.

Career

Ryan played hurling as a schoolboy at Templemore CBS where he won consecutive Corn Phádraig titles and a Dr. Kinnane Cup in 1974 and 1975.[1] He first played for Borris–Ileigh at juvenile and underage levels before eventually joining the club's senior team. Ryan won two North Tipperary SHC titles and a Tipperary SHC title in 1981. His accountancy studies and subsequent career abroad brought a premature end to his hurling, however, he rejoined the Borris–Ileigh team and trained with them in advance of their defeat of Rathnure in the 1987 All-Ireland club final.[2]

Ryan first played for Tipperary during a two-year tenure at minor level. He was at midfield when the Tipperary minors beat Kilkenny in the 1976 All-Ireland minor final.[3] Ryan subsequently spent three years with the under-21 team and won consecutive All-Ireland U21HC medals in 1978 and 1979.[4][5] He was drafted onto the senior team in 1976. Ryan won a National League title in 1979 before leaving the panel in 1982.[6]

Family

His father, Tim Ryan, and his uncles, Ned Ryan and Pat Stakelum, won All-Ireland medals with Tipperary between 1949 and 1951.[7] His brothers, Bobby and Aidan, were part of the Tipperary team that won All-Ireland titles in 1989 and 1991.[8]
