Shanahan passes away

Tipperary’s three-time All-Ireland winner Phil Shanahan has passed away.

The Toomevara man, who also played senior hurling for Dublin, was on the Premier County team that did the three-in-row between 1949 and ’51.

A minor in 1946, midfielder Shanahan went onto win four National League medals with Tipperary — 1949, ‘50, ‘52 and ‘57- as well as a quartet of Railway Cups — 1950 to ‘53.
