Doyle represented the Munster inter-provincial team at various times, winning three Railway Cup medals on the field of play.
[3] After a three-year wait the club were county champions again in 1942, with Doye winning a third championship medal after destroying Killenaule by 8–5 to 0–1 in the decider.
The game was held up while the pitch was cleared and then awarded to Sarsfields by the referee when Kilruane couldn't field a full team.
Doyle was appointed captain of the team in 1952, as Thurles Sarsfields reached the championship decider after a six-year gap.
After spending an unsuccessful year with the Tipperary junior team, Doyle was called up to the senior panel during the 1936–37 National Hurling League.
Tipperary gave a tour de force performance and recorded a 3–11 to 0–3 victory in one of the most one-sided championship deciders ever.
[5] In 1945 Tipperary halted Cork's bid for a fifth successive All-Ireland title, before later securing the Munster crown following a 4–3 to 2–6 defeat of Limerick.
Tipp led by 4–3 to 0–3 at half-time, however, immediately after the interval Kilkenny strung three goals together before forcing two great saves from goalkeeper Jimmy Maher.
On his way home from posting a letter to the county board announcing his retirement Doyle bumped into selector John Joe Callanan.
Doyle agreed and he produced perhaps the greatest display of marking in the history of the game, holding the legendary Ring scoreless through 150 minutes of championship hurling.
In a one-sided affair Tipp completely overpowered the Leinster champions on a score line of 3–11 to 0–3, giving Doyle his third All-Ireland medal.
In a dull affair, Tipp looked to be heading for victory when Seán Kenny scored a goal to put the team four points ahead with just one minute left to play.
The subsequent All-Ireland decider against Wexford on 2 September 1951 provided Tipperary with the chance to secure a hat-trick of championship titles for the first time in over half a century.
