Mick Ryan (hurler, born 1925)

He played hurling at various times with the Roscrea, Dicksboro, Blackrock and St Finbarr's clubs and was a member at senior level of the Tipperary county team from 1946 until 1954.

The game turned into a rout as Tipp trounced Laois on a score line of 3–11 to 0-3 giving Ryan his first All-Ireland medal.

It was Tipp, however, who won a close and uninteresting final on a score line of 1–9 to 1-8 giving Ryan his second All-Ireland medal.

That victory gave Ryan his third provincial title and allowed Tipp to play in their third consecutive championship decider.

In 1954 Ryan won a fourth National League medal; however, Cork went on to defeat Tipp in a third consecutive Munster final.
