Anthony Sheppard (born 1956) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Kilruane MacDonaghs and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.
Sheppard first played Gaelic football and hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs.[1] After winning numerous divisional titles in the minor and under-21 grades, he progressed onto the club's respective senior teams and won a combined total of 12 North Tipperary titles across both codes between 1976 and 1990. He captained Kilruane MacDonaghs to the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986, having earlier won four Tipperary SHC titles.[2][3]
Sheppard first lined out at inter-county level as a forward on the Tipperary minor hurling team during the 1974 Munster MHC campaign. He later spent two seasons with the under-21 team. Sheppard first played with the senior team during their successful 1978-79 National League campaign. He made his only championship appearance when he captained the team in 1986.[4] Sheppard was a non-playing substitute when Tipperary beat Cork in the 1987 Munster final replay.
