Seán O'Meara (Tipperary hurler)

Seán O'Meara (1951 - 6 February 2010) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Kilruane MacDonaghs and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.

Career
O'Meara first played hurling and Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs club. He won a North Tipperary U21AFC title in 1970 before captaining the under-21 hurlers to divisional honours two years later. By that stage O'Meara had already joined the club's senior team after making his debut in 1970. He won a Tipperary SFC title in 1975 before later being part of the Kilruane senior hurling team that won three consecutive Tipperary SHC titles from 1977 to 1979.

At inter-county level, O'Meara never played at minor or under-21 levels as a hurler, however, he was drafted onto the Tipperary under-21 football team in 1972. His performances at club level resulted in O'Meara being called-up to the Tipperary senior hurling team for the 1977 Munster SHC. He made his only appearance in a drawn match with Clare as a broken finger prevented him from lining out in the replay. In retirement from playing, O'Meara served as a coach and selector at various levels with Kilruane MacDonaghs.

Death
O'Meara died on 6 February 2010, aged 58.
