Michael O'Halloran (born 1971) is an Irish former hurler who played for Clare SHC club Sixmilebridge and at inter-county level with the Clare senior hurling team. He usually lined out as a corner-back.

Career

O'Halloran first came to hurling prominence as a schoolboy with St. Patrick's Comprehensive School in Shannon. He was a substitute on the school team that was beaten by St. Flannan's College in the final of the Harty Cup in 1989.[2] O'Halloran simultaneously progressed through the various grades at club level with Sixmilebridge before eventually joining the senior team. He was at right corner-back when the club won the All-Ireland Club Championship in 1996.[3] O'Halloran first appeared on the inter-county scene when he earned a call-up to the Clare under-21 hurling team in 1992, however, he left the panel before the start of the championship. He returned to inter-county activity as a member of the senior team under Ger Loughnane in 1994. Over the following four seasons he was part of two All-Ireland Championship-winning teams and also claimed three Munster Championship medals.[4] O'Halloran left the Clare panel during the 1999 National League.
