Dr. Eamon O'Shea (born 1958) is an Irish former hurler who played as a right wing-forward at senior level for the Tipperary and Dublin county teams.
Kilruane fought back and overwhelmed the Wexford side in the final quarter to claim a 1–15 to 2–10 victory and give O'Shea an All-Ireland club winners' medal.
The rest of O'Shea's inter-county career coincided with a barren spell for Tipperary's senior team.
On that occasion Tipperary put up a good fight, however, Kilkenny retained their title for a record-breaking fourth year in succession.
Another exciting game with Kilkenny developed, however, on this occasion Tipp denied 'the Cats' their "drive-for-five" with a 4–17 to 1–18 victory.
