Early Life
Jackie Tyrrell was born in Kilkenny in 1982. He received his primary education locally before later attending St. Kieran's College, a famed hurling nursery in the city. It was here that Tyrrell's hurling skills were developed and nurtured by the many hurling enthusiasts there. He won back-to-back Leinster colleges' titles in 1999 and 2000. This latter victory was later converted into an All-Ireland colleges title after a defeat of Gort Community College. Tyrrell later studied at the Cork Institute of Technology and at the Limerick Institute of Technology. It was at the latter institution that he won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal on a team trained by Clare's Davy Fitzgerald. Tyrrell won a second Fitzgibbon Cup title two years after his first in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
—Henry Reed (1914–1986)
“The touchstone for family life is still the legendary “and so they were married and lived happily ever after.” It is no wonder that any family falls short of this ideal.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
