John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer (born 17 September 1991) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Killenaule and with the Tipperary senior inter-county team since 2013.

Career

He made his senior debut for Tipperary in January 2013, starting in the half forward line against Limerick in the 2013 Waterford Crystal Cup.[2] On March 18, 2013, he scored 1-6 against Galway in a 4-22 to 1-20 win at Pearse Stadium in the 2013 National Hurling League to win the man of the match award from TG4.[3] On 9 June 2013, he came on as a substitute in the second half against Limerick to make his championship debut. He went on to score 1-3 as Tipperary were defeated 1-18 to 1-15.[4]

On 7 September 2014, O'Dwyer played in his first All-Ireland Final where he scored seven points with five of them coming from play. During the final Tipperary were awarded a free from 97 metres out in injury time with the scores level. O'Dwyer took the free which was hit just wide to the right and required conformation from Hawk-eye that it was wide, the match ended in a draw.[5][6]

In October 2014, O'Dwyer won his first All Stars Award after a successful 2014 campaign where Tipperary reached the All-Ireland Final.[7] In December 2015, O'Dwyer was named as the Munster Hurler of the Year for 2015.[8]
