Career

edit

Fitzpatrick first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Carrick Swans. He won several divisional titles in the minor and under-21 grades, before winning a Tipperary U21AHC title in 1972. By this stage Fitzpatrick had joined the Carrick senior team and won six South Tipperary SHC medals between 1974 and 1986.[1]

Fitzpatrick never played at minor level for Tipperary, however, his club performances earned a call-up to the under-21 team that won the Munster U21HC title in 1972.[2] He was also a member of the intermediate team that year and lined out at left corner-back 1972 All-Ireland intermediate final defeat of Galway.[3][4] Fitzpatrick was a member of the senior team's extended panel in 1977 and 1982.[5]
