Michael FitzGerald (born 1987) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level, he played with Doon and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.
FitzGerald played hurling at all levels as a student at Doon CBS, before eventually joining the school's senior team in the Dr Harty Cup competition. [1] He later played with Mary Immaculate College and was part of their Ryan Cup-winning team in 2006. [2]
At club level, FitzGerald first played for Doon at juvenile and underage levels. He won a Limerick MAHC title in 2003, before later winning a Limerick U21AHC medal after Doon's 2-16 to 1-06 win over Adare in 2006. [3] [4] FitzGerald was still eligible for the minor grade when he made his senior team debut.
FitzGerald first appeared on the inter-county scene with Limerick as goalkeeper on the mnor team in 2003. [5] He progressed to the under-21 team and was team captain in 2007. FitzGerald was called into the senior team in 2004, but left of his own accord a short time later. He returned to the panel in 2006 and won a Waterford Crystal Cup title that year. [6] FitzGerald lined out at wing-forward when Limerick had a 2-17 to 1-15 defeat by Kilkenny in the 2007 All-Ireland final. [7] He ended the season by being shortlisted for Young Hurler of the Year. [8] A series of injuries brought FitzGerald's inter-county career to an end in 2008. [9]
