A two-time All-Ireland senior hurling winner with Tipperary, O’Dwyer was an All Star forward in 2014 and a key cog in the Premier County’s Liam MacCarthy triumphs in 2016 and 2019.

However a knee injury kept him out of action for Tipperary last year and the 31-year-old Killenaule clubman has now announced his intercounty retirement. “I would like to thank all the management teams from minor level up to senior who helped me over the last 15 years,” stated O’Dwyer. “It was a great pleasure to represent my county and win some silverware along the way. Thanks to those close to me and to my club Killenaule, who without their support it wouldn’t have been possible, So long.”
