Don Flynn (born 1966) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level, he played with Killeedy and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.
Flynn first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Killeedy club, before eventually progressing to adult level. He won a Limerick IHC medal in 1992 after Killeedy's 0-14 to 1-05 defeat of Boher in the final. [1]
At inter-county level, Flynn first played for Limerick as part of the minor team that beat Kilkenny to win the All-Ireland MHC title in 1984. [2] He progressed to the under-21 team and won consecutive Munster U21HC titles, before claiming an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a 2-15 to 3-06 win over Galway in the 1987 final. [3]
Flynn made his first appearance for the senior team in a challenge game against Tipperary in a challenge game in January 1987. [4] He was later part of the Limerick team that won the National Hurling League title in 1992. [5] Flynn also won a Munster SHC medal and was a non-playing substitute for Limerick's defeat by Offaly in the 1994 All-Ireland final. [6] [7]
In retirement from playing, Flynn became involved in team management and coaching. He served a two-year spell as manager of Limerick's intermediate team. [8]
