John Shalloo (27 May 1886 – 14 June 1932) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with O'Callaghan's Mills, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Clare senior hurling team.

Career

Shalloo first played hurling in his local area with the O'Callaghan's Mills club. During a golden age for the club, he was part of the Clare SHC-winning teams in 1904, 1906, 1909, 1910 and 1918.[2] Shalloo's performances at club level quickly earned him a call-up to the Clare senior hurling team. He won a Munster SHC medal in 1914, before later lining out at full-back in Clare's defeat of Laois in the 1914 All-Ireland final.[3][4][5]

Death

Shalloo died following a drowning accident at Kilgorey Lake near O'Callaghan's Mills on 14 June 1932, at the age of 46.[6]
