Paddy Leahy
Patrick "Paddy" Leahy (1892-1966) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary senior team.
Leahy made his first appearance for the team during the 1916 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1927 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, four Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal.[1][2]
At club level Leahy was a multiple county club championship medalist with Boherlahan-Dualla.
Leahy was the member of a famous hurling dynasty in Tipperary. His older brother Johnny was a two-time All-Ireland-winning captain. His younger brothers, Mick and Tommy, also won All-Ireland medals.
In retirement from hurling Leahy became involved in coaching. He was chairman of the selection committee for eight All-Ireland victories for Tipperary between 1949 and 1965.
