T. J. Connolly (born 1971) is an Irish retired hurler and former manager of the Tipperary under-21 hurling team. [1]
Born in Cashel, County Tipperary, Connolly first arrived on the inter-county scene as a dual player at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor teams, before later joining the under-21 sides. Connolly never played at senior level with Tipperary.
At club level Connolly was a one-time Munster medallist with Cashel King Cormac's. He also won one championship medal.
In retirement from playing, Connolly became involved in team management and coaching. He served as a selector with the Tipperary under-21 team for a number of years, before being appointed manager in 2013. He left the position of under-21 manager in 2015. [2] [3]
