Séamus Gibson (born 26 December 1962[1]) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Kilruane MacDonaghs and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.

Career

[edit]

Gibson first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs club.[2] He eventually progressed onto the club's senior team and was at left corner-back on the Kilruane MacDonaghs team that won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986.[3][4]

At inter-county level, Gibson never played at minor or under-21 levels, however, his performances at club level earned a call-up to the Tipperary senior hurling team in 1986. He claimed his first inter-county silverware after giving a man of the match display in the 1987 Munster final replay defeat of Cork.[5] Gibson added a National Hurling League title to collection in 1988 before winning a second successive Munster SHC medal.[6] He was an unused substitute when Tipperary were beaten by Galway in the 1988 All-Ireland final.[7]
