Cian Dillon (born 30 October 1988) is an Irish hurler who plays for club side Crusheen. He usually plays as a left corner-back, but can also be deployed as a full-back. Dillon was a member of the Clare senior hurling team that won the 2013 All-Ireland Championship.[1]
Dillon played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Crusheen club, and later became a member of the club's senior hurling team. He won back-to-back Clare Senior Hurling Championship titles with the club in 2010 and 2011.[citation needed]
Dillon first played for Clare as a member of the minor team in 2006, before later playing at full-back on Clare's All-Ireland Under-21 Championship-winning team in 2009. He made his first appearance with the Clare senior team in 2010. Dillon won an All-Ireland Championship medal in 2013, when Clare claimed the title for the first time in 16 years. He later won a National Hurling League medal as joint captain of the team in 2016. Dillon announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 9 January 2019.[2][3]
