Éamonn Taaffe (born 18 February 1975) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a full-forward for the Clare senior team.
[1] Born in Tubber, County Clare, Taaffe first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Our Lady's College.
In 1995 a hamstring injury kept Taaffe off the starting fifteen, however, he collected a Munster medal as an unused substitute as Clare defeated reigning provincial champions Limerick by 1-17 to 0-11.
After a long range speculative shot was sent towards the goalmouth Taaffe was at hand to send the sliotar to the net for the key goal for Clare.
In 1998 Taaffe won his first Munster medal on the field of play following a 2-16 to 0-10 defeat of Waterford in a tense provincial decider replay.
