Philip Maher (born 14 December 1979) is an Irish hurler. He plays in the full-back position on the Tipperary senior hurling team. [1]
Philip Maher was born in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary in 1979. He showed great skill as a hurler in his youth and quickly started playing with his local club in Borrisoleigh before he was spotted by the Tipperary inter-county selectors.
Maher plays his club hurling with the famous Borrisoleigh club in Tipperary.
By the late 1990s Maher had made his debut with the Tipperary minor hurling team. He won a Munster minor hurling medal in 1997 and quickly moved on to the inter-county under-21 team. On that team he won another Munster title, however, All-Ireland success still eluded him. In 2000 Maher made his senior debut for Tipperary in a Munster Championship game against Waterford. [2] The following year he won his first National Hurling League medal before later winning a Munster title. The year was rounded off when Maher won his first All-Ireland medal following a victory over Galway. His performance in the championship earned him his first All-Star award. [2] The subsequent few years proved frustrating for Maher as Tipp failed to win any further Munster of All-Ireland titles.
