Gearóid Ryan (born 26 August 1988) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary senior team.
The result was similar with Ryan adding a county intermediate title to his collection following a five-point victory.
He won a Munster medal in this grade in his debut season following a controversial one-point defeat of Clare.
[8][9] Ryan made his senior competitive debut for Tipperary in a National Hurling League game against Cork in 2009.
After losing to Cork in the first round of the championship, Tipperray regrouped in the qualifiers and went on to reach a second successive All-Ireland decider.
He subsequently completed a hat-trick of goals and Tipperary had a fourth by Noel McGrath to deny Kilkenny's drive-for-five and secure a remarkable and convincing 4-17 to 1-18 victory.
In a statement he said "In recent years injuries have limited my ability to compete for a first 15 place and that has been a major factor in my decision.
I want to thank all the players sincerely and I also want to thank the managers and backroom teams who gave me the honour of representing my county and were always very supportive of me.
