James Williams (born 1952[1]) is an Irish former hurler and Gaelic footballer. At club level he played with Kilruane MacDonaghs and was also a member of the Tipperary senior teams as a dual player.

Career

Williams first played hurling and Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs club.[2] He won a number of divisional minor and under-21 titles in both codes and was also a member of the team that won the first of four consecutive Tipperary Under-21AHC titles in 1973. Williams made his first appearance for the club's senior team as a 16-year-old in 1969. He was at centre-forward on the Kilruane MacDonaghs team that won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986, having earlier won four Tipperary SHC titles, including one as team captain, and a Tipperary SFC title in 1975.[3][4] His 26-year club career came to an end in 1995.[5]

Williams first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor football team in 1970. He later spent three seasons with the under-21 team, however, his underage career ended without silverware. Williams was just out of the minor grade when he was selected for the senior team in 1971. He became dual inter-county player in 1975 when he joined the Tipperary senior hurling team.[6] Williams was part of the Tipperary team that won the 1978-79 National League.[7]
