Shane O'Sullivan is a young Irish hurler who plays for both the Waterford Inter-county hurling team and the Ballygunner GAA club.

Playing career

O'Sullivan started playing inter-county hurling with Waterford at the age of 18. He made his debut against Tipperary in the Munster Hurling Semi Final on 6 June 2004 and has since gone on to represent his county 8 times.

O'Sullivan made his first championship start vs. Kilkenny on 8 August 2004.

In January 2005 O'Sullivan suffered a serious ligament injury forcing him off the Waterford panel however O'Sullivan made very quick recovery and lined out 6 months later for his club Ballygunner. O'Sullivan was then instrumental in guiding Ballygunner to Senior & Under 21 county titles in 2005, resulting in Ballygunner losing by a narrow margin to Newtownshandrum in the Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship 2005.

O'Sullivan was a regular starter for Waterford in the 2006 All-Ireland Hurling Championship.However as of 2008 he has not yet managed to nail down a consistent place on the waterford senior hurling team and questions have been raised about whether his pace and strength are up to inter county standards although his work rate and excellent mentality are recognized.

He was part of the Waterford side that defeated Kilkenny by two points in the National Hurling League final in April 2007.

In 2008 Shane was converted by Davy Fitzgerald to a wing back for Waterford. He played in that position against Antrim, Offaly and Wexford.Shane also played 35 minutes against Kilkenny in Waterford's first All-Ireland final for 45 years.

O'Sullivan is brother to the former Waterford inter-county hurler, Billy O'Sullivan.
