William O'Donnell (13 January 1912 â 28 January 1980) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played for GoldenâÂÂKilfeacle and ÃÂire ÃÂg Annacarty and was the left wing-forward on the Tipperary senior hurling team that won the 1937 All-Ireland Championship.
A native of Golden, County Tipperary, O'Donnell was educated at Rockwell College, where he won a Harty Cup medal in 1930. He began his club career with GoldenâÂÂKilfeacle but won a Tipperary Senior Championship medal with ÃÂire ÃÂg Annacarty in 1943, after transferring to them in January of that year.
O'Donnell made his first appearance for the Tipperary senior hurling team during the 1934 Munster Championship and had a number of successes as a forward over the following decade. In 1937 he won an All-Ireland Championship medal when Tipperary defeated Kilkenny, having earlier won a Munster Championship medal. O'Donnell won a second Munster Championship medal in 1941.
