    Philip Maher (born 14 December 1979) is an Irish hurler. He plays in the full-back position on the Tipperary senior hurling team.[1]

    Club career[edit]

    Philip Maher was born in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary in 1979. He showed great skill as a hurler in his youth and quickly started playing with his local club in Borrisoleigh before he was spotted by the Tipperary inter-county selectors.

    Playing career[edit]

    Club[edit]

    Maher plays his club hurling with the famous Borrisoleigh club in Tipperary.

    Inter-county[edit]

    By the late 1990s Maher had made his debut with the Tipperary minor hurling team. He won a Munster minor hurling medal in 1997 and quickly moved on to the inter-county under-21 team. On that team he won another Munster title, however, All-Ireland success still eluded him. In 2000 Maher made his senior debut for Tipperary in a Munster Championship game against Waterford.[2] The following year he won his first National Hurling League medal before later winning a Munster title. The year was rounded off when Maher won his first All-Ireland medal following a victory over Galway. His performance in the championship earned him his first All-Star award.[2] The subsequent few years proved frustrating for Maher as Tipp failed to win any further Munster of All-Ireland titles.
