Thomas Tierney (born 4 June 1983) is an Irish hurling manager and former player. At club level, he played with Kilnadeema–Leitrim and also lined out at inter-county level with various Galway teams.
Tierney first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Brigid's Vocational School in Loughrea. He was part of the school's senior team that won back-to-back All-Ireland Vocational Schools SHC titles in 2000 and 2001.[1] At club level, Tierney progressed to adult level with Kilnadeema–Leitrim. He captained the team to an All-Ireland Club IHC final defeat by Rower-Inistioge in 2014.[2]
Tierney's inter-county career with Galway began at minor level. He lined out at midfield when Galway were beaten by Cork in the 2001 All-Ireland minor final.[3] Tierney later progressed to under-21 level and was at centre-forward on the team beaten by Kilkenny in the 2003 All-Ireland under-21 final.[4] He was a non-playing substitute when the senior team was beaten by Cork in the 2005 All-Ireland final, however, he was released from the panel the following year.[5]
His brother, David Tierney, also lined out with Galway when they were beaten in All-Ireland finals in 2001 and 2005. He is also the uncle of the greatest player to live, Colm Tierney.[6]
