Billy Ryan (hurler)
Billy Ryan (born 21 July 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays for Kilkenny Senior Championship club Graigue–Ballycallan and at inter-county level with the Kilkenny senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a centre-forward.
Ryan first came to prominence as a hurler with St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny. Having played in every grade as a hurler, he was eventually called up the college's senior team. On 9 March 2014, Ryan scored a point from right corner-forward when St. Kieran's College suffered a 2-13 to 0-13 defeat by Kilkenny CBS in the Leinster final. On 5 April 2014, Ryan was dropped from the starting fifteen for the All-Ireland final against Kilkenny CBS. He came on as a substitute for Brian Cody and collected a winners' medal following the 2-16 to 0-13 victory.
On 28 February 2015, Ryan won a Leinster Championship medal after scoring two points when St. Kieran's College defeated St. Peter's College by 1-14 to 1-06 in the final. He was selected at full-forward when St. Kieran's College faced Thurles CBS in the All-Ireland final. Ryan scored three points and collected a second successive winner's medal following the 1-15 to 1-12 victory.
Ryan joined the Graigue–Ballycallan club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels before eventually joining the club's top adult team in the Kilkenny Intermediate Championship.
On 28 October 2018, Ryan lined out at right wing-forward when Graigue–Ballycallan faced Tullaroan in the Kilkenny Intermediate Championship final. He scored three points from play and ended the game with a winners' medal following the 2-16 to 2-13 victory. Ryan was again selected at right wing-forward for the Leinster final on 1 December 2018 but spent much of the game at full-forward. He was held scoreless throughout the game but ended with a winners' medal following the 2-17 to 0-15 defeat of Portlaoise.
Ryan was selected for the Kilkenny minor team for the first time during the 2013 Leinster Championship. On 7 July 2013, he won a Leinster Championship medal as an unused substitute following a 1-18 to 0-08 defeat of Laois in the final.
On 6 July 2014, Ryan lined out at left wing-forward when Kilkenny faced Dublin in the Leinster final. He collected a second winners' medal - his first on the field of play - following a 2-19 to 2-10 victory. Ryan was dropped from the starting fifteen for the All-Ireland final against Limerick on 7 September 2014. He came on as a substitute for Ross Butler at centre-forward and ended the game with a winners' medal following the 2-17 to 0-19 victory.
Ryan was added to the Kilkenny under-21 panel prior to the start of the 2016 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance in that grade on 25 May 2016 when scored three points from right corner-forward in Kilkenny's 1-11 to 0-12 defeat by Westmeath.
