Mike Galligan

Michael Galligan, known as Mike, born 17 January 1968, is an Irish hurler who played for the club side Claughaun and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team. Born in Cork but raised in Limerick after his family moved there soon after his birth, he first played competitive hurling at primary school in Caherdavin and then for CBS Sexton Street in the Dr. Harty Cup. He won his only senior county title with Claughaun in 1986, after taking county titles in every juvenile and underage grade. After two years with the Limerick minors and two with the under-21 team, he made his senior debut against Kilkenny in the 1989 to 90 league and was a stalwart of the team through the following decade, playing in the All-Ireland final defeats of 1994 and 1996. His honours include two Munster Championship medals, two National League titles and a Railway Cup medal with Munster, and he retired from inter-county hurling in December 2000.
