Joe Hayes (born 9 January 1963[1]) is an Irish retired hurling manager and former player. His league and championship career with the Tipperary senior team spanned eight seasons from 1986 to 1994.[2]
Hayes first appeared for the Clonoulty–Rossmore club at juvenile and underage levels, before eventually joining the club's senior team. In 1989, he won a county championship medal.
Hayes made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he was selected for the Tipperary minor team. He enjoyed two championship seasons with the minor team, winning an All-Ireland medal in his debut season. Hayes later joined the Tipperary under-21 team and was a back-to-back All-Ireland runner-up. He made his senior debut during the 1986-87 league. Over the course of the following eight seasons Hayes had a number of successes, including winning All-Ireland medals in 1989 and 1991. He also won five Munster medals and two National League medals. Hayes later won an All-Ireland medal in the junior grade as player-manager with Monaghan.[3]
