Daniel Troy (1897 - 18 December 1953) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Newport and Claughaun, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.
Career[edit]
Troy first played hurling at club level with the Newport club in Tipperary.[1] He later joined the Claughaun club after moving to Limerick, and made his first appearances for the team during their Limerick SHC-winning campaign in 1918.[2][3] Troy's performances at club level resulted in his inclusion on the Limerick senior hurling team. He soon won a Munster SHC medal before lining out in Limerick's defeat 9-05 to 1-03 of Wexford in the 1918 All-Ireland final.[4] Troy sustained a serious injury during the game which resulted in a prolonged period of absence from both club and inter-county hurling. He won a second Limerick SHC medal in 1926.[5]
Death[edit]
Troy died suddenly on 18 December 1953, at the age of 56. He was the first member of Limerick's 1918 All-Ireland-winning team to die.[6]
