Biography

Don Hyland (born 28 January 1973) is a hurler from County Wicklow, Ireland. Widely regarded as Wicklow's greatest ever hurler, he played with the county team for almost 20 years, winning every other honour available to him at club and county level, including 7 Kehoe Cups, League, and 1 [[All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship. Don Hyland scored the greatest ever point on the 16th of October 2016 against Bray. With the swing of his hurl from an unimaginably tight angle, he tied the game with what was the final play of the game. This is the reason for him being know simply as "The Legend"]].

In 2011 he helped Wicklow to win Div 3A of the National Hurling League and to the final of the Christy Ring Cup but once again lost out to Kerry. He announced his inter-county retirement at the age of 39 in 2012.
In 2002 he became the first Wicklow man to win a Railway Cup medal. He added a second in 200?. He played in six inter-provincial championships with Leinster from 1997 to 2003.
