Career
[edit]Hayes first came to prominence as a hurler with the Moycarkey–Borris club.[1] In a career that spanned three decades, he won four County Championship titles, including one as team captain in 1926.[2] Hayes first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team in 1917. It was the first year of a decade-long association with the team, culminating with the winning of the All-Ireland Championship in 1925. Hayes's other honours include three Munster Championship medals, while he was also included on the Ireland team for the 1924 Tailteann Games.[3]
Personal life and death

The second of six surviving children born to Daniel and Johanna Hayes (née Dywer), he spent his entire working life as a farmer.
