Tom Healy

Tom Healy

Tom Healy was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club Thurles Sarsfields and with the very first Tipperary inter-county team in the 1880s.

Tommy Healy was born in Coolcroo, County Tipperary. He was noted as a fine sportsperson and he played hurling with his native Thurles club in the 1880s. In 1887 he won a Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship title with his club. As a result of this Thurles were picked to represent Tipperary in the inaugural All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. Healy's most notable moment came when he scored the very first goal in an All-Ireland Hurling Final. This happened in the 1887 final, when Tipperary played against Galway. Healy took a pass from team captain Jim Stapleton and made no mistake in sending a low, hard drive to the back of the opposition's net.
