Dan Shanahan
Encyclopedia
Dan Shanahan is an Irish
sportsperson. He plays hurling
with his local club Lismore
and was a member of the Waterford
senior inter-county team from 1998 until 2010. In recent seasons Shanahan has come to be regarded as one of the best players in the game being named undisputed Hurler of the Year
in 2007. Dan is the older brother of Maurice Shanahan
and cousin of Eoin Kelly (Waterford hurler)
who are also members of the Waterford hurling panel.Dan usually played in the forwards.
with his local Lismore
club in Waterford. He has enjoyed some success at underage levels winning county medals in hurling at under-14, under-16, minor and under-21 levels. Shanahan won a senior county title in 1993 at the age of sixteen. Lismore were in the county final in 2009 but narrowly lost in the replay.
with the Waterford
minor and under-21 teams, however, he had little success at these levels. He first played for Waterford in 1995, however, his senior championship debut for his native-county came in 1998. That year Waterford held All-Ireland champions Clare
to a draw in the Munster final, however, the Decies lost the replay. Shanahan’s side later faced Kilkenny
in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, they were defeated by a single point. This was a bleak period for Waterford’s hurlers and the famine that had lasted since 1963 continued. All this changed in 2002 when Justin McCarthy
took over as manager
of the team. That year Waterford reached the Munster final again, however, Shanahan could not command a definite place on the starting fifteen. In spite of this he came on as a substitute in Waterford’s provincial final victory over reigning champions Tipperary
. It was Shanahan’s first Munster
title. Unfortunately, the men from the Deise were later defeated by Clare in the All-Ireland semi-final.
In 2003 Waterford reached the Munster final again, however, Shanahan remained on the substitutes’ bench as his team was defeated by Cork. Waterford later crashed out of the championship in the All-Ireland series. By 2004 Shanahan had established himself on the county team and it turned out to be one of his best seasons to date. In his first game against Clare he scored a hat-trick of goals (an impressive feat in hurling). He added to this by scoring another two goals against Tipperary and then scoring a vital goal against Cork in the memorable Munster final, giving Shanahan a second provincial title. This victory allowed the team to advance directly to the All-Ireland semi-final, however, Kilkenny defeated Shanahan’s side on that occasion. In spite of this there was some consolation at the end of the year as Shanahan's scoring prowess earned him his first All-Star
award. The following few years proved difficult for Shanahan. Waterford crashed out of the early stages of the provincial championship in 2005 and 2006. On both these occasions his team was defeated by Cork in the All-Ireland series. Shanahan won a second All-Star award in 2006.
In 2007 Shanahan’s season began well. That year he collected his first National Hurling League
title following a victory over reigning champions and three-in-a-row hopefuls Kilkenny. It was Waterford’s first national title in forty-four years. Shanahan’s side later defeated Cork in an exciting Munster semi-final, giving the team a place in the provincial decider once again. Limerick
provided the opposition on that occasion. In the game itself Shanahan scored a remarkable total of 3-3. Remarkably, he scored all three of his goals during the second-half at rain-soaked Semple Stadium
, as his strikes in the 52nd, 63rd and 71st minutes closed out a deserved, if somewhat flattering, victory. Shanahan was named "Man of the Match
" along with picking up his third Munster winners medal. In the subsequent All-Ireland quarter-final Waterford defeated Cork after a replay, setting up an All-Ireland semi-final rematch with Limerick. While many had predicted a Waterford victory, Limerick had learned a lesson from the earlier defeat. Shanahan was prevented from scoring any goals in that game while Limerick’s forwards scored five. For the fifth time in almost a decade Waterford’s championship came to an end at the penultimate stage. In spite of falling short of championship success Shanahan’s tally of eight goals over the whole championship marked him out as one of the best forwards in the country. He was later presented with a third All-Star award as well as claiming the coveted Vodafone Hurler of the Year
award. Shanahan later made a clean sweep of all the player of the year awards by also collecting the GPA Hurler of the Year
and Texaco Hurler of the Year
awards as well.
In August 2010, Shanahan announced his retirement from the inter-county game after Waterford's exit to Tipperary
in the All Ireland semi final
.
in the Railway Cup inter-provincial competition. He first lined out with his province in 1998, however, he did not capture a winners medal in this competition until 2007 when Munster defeated Connacht
