John Maher (1933 – 21 May 1988) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Kilmacud Crokes and was an All-Ireland Championship winner with the Kilkenny senior hurling team. [1]
Maher first came to prominence when he won senior and junior Leinster colleges medals with St. Kieran's College. He played for the Leinster senior colleges side in 1950 when Leinster won the inter-provincial title before later claiming Leinster and All-Ireland medals as a member of the Kilkenny minor team. Maher was still eligible to play for the minor team on 1951 but, having moved to the capital for work, a mix-up arose and he was unable to line out for Kilkenny. He won his first Leinster medal at senior level with Dublin in 1952 before transferring back to the Kilkenny senior team in 1957. Maher went on to win his only senior All-Ireland title that year after beating Waterford in the final. [2] His other honours at senior level with Kilkenny include four Leinster Championships and a National Hurling League title. Maher was also selected for the Leinster and Ireland teams. With Kilmacud Crokes he won a senior county championship medal in 1966.
