Paddy Doyle (hurler)

Patrick "Paddy" Doyle (born 1941) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-forward for the Tipperary senior team.

Born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Doyle first excelled at hurling whilst at school in Thurles CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor teams as a dual player before later joining the under-21 and junior Gaelic football teams. He made his senior debut in the 1965 championship. Doyle enjoyed a brief inter-county career and won one All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute and one Munster medal on the field of play.

At club level Doyle was a six-time championship medallist with Thurles Sarsfield's.

His father, Gerry, his uncle, Tommy, and his brother, Jimmy Doyle, also enjoyed All-Ireland success with Tipperary.

Throughout his career Doyle made 3 championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1966 championship.

In retirement from playing Doyle became involved in team management and coaching. He served as coach of the Tipperary minor team for three years.
