It was with great sadness that Tipperary GAA learned of the sad passing of former Tipperary Senior Hurler and All Ireland medal winner Sean McLoughlin RIP.
Born in Rahealty, Sean first played competitive hurling for Rahealty where he enjoyed great success at Minor level. He also enjoyed success with his school Thurles CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team, before joining the senior panel in 1958.
The Thurles Sarsfields clubman made his senior inter county debut in the 1960 Munster semi final against Waterford and went on to win four senior All-Ireland medals with Tipperary, seven Munster championships, two National Hurling League medals, a Railway Cup medal with Munster, and nine Tipperary senior championship medals with Thurles Sarsfields.
Tipperary GAA County Board extends its sincere sympathies to Sean’s daughters Lucy and Carmel, sons Liam, Brian and Jim and the extended McLoughlin family at this sad time.
Sean funeral arrangements are as follows:
Reposing in Hugh Ryan’s Funeral Home, Slievenamon Road, Thurles on Thursday 4th September from 5pm to 8pm. Sean’s funeral cortége will walk from his residence on Friday morning 5th September, to arrive at the Cathedral of the Assumption, Thurles at 10.30am for Requiem Mass at 11am. Burial afterwards in St Patrick’s cemetery, Thurles.
